How to Be a Citizen: Learning to Rely Less on Rules and More on Each Other by C.L. Skach

3.0

This was an intriguing read and it was particularly interesting to hear arguments in favour of the abolishment of laws from a former writer of them, but it was in dire need of a sensitivity reader!

You would hope that an expert in law would know better than to use the phrase “committed suicide”. It doesn’t require a deep-dive into trans right to know that “transgendered” is offensive and grammatically incorrect. Finally, adding inverted commas around the phrase “ethnic food” to presumably use it ironically doesn’t make it ok 😬

Thank you to Bloomsbury for the ARC.
