Review of 'Habeas Viscus' on 'Goodreads'

I'm going to spend a couple more weeks with this book, but it was good. I'm glad I read it shortly after Bodies that Matter; I think it explained some aspects of subjection/abjection better, and I liked the body/flesh idea. I think I will have to read some Wynter and Spillers soon.

Main problem was the gigantic sentences. Liked the Yeezy references.

For my book list this semester.
