Review of 'Mediocre' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is absolutely an important topic deserving of study and correction. This book may have as many misses as hits, though. It could have been edited more stringently to avoid repetition and lengthy commentary that is more complaining than action-inspiring.
Of particular interest to me was chapter 6's listing of heinous things white men can do and still hold US political office; a discussion of Shirley Chisholm; and a description of cumulative voting.
