Review Quotes

I have long considered Jay Burkette an insightful thinker and wonderful conversationalist. In this provocative and indispensable work, Burkette takes bold stepsmdash;navigating the jagged terrain of weaponized vocabularies and polarized social relationsmdash;in pursuit of the utopian novum. This opportunity to engage with his formidable intellect, in long-form writing, should be cherished by anyone committed to unmaking codified social hierarchies, realizing divine human dignity, and unceasingly striving towards a better world.
