Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me by Aisha Harris

3.0

I ended up reading this straight through in one day, not because it was so engrossing but I just happened to have an unusually lazy day. And it certainly is an entertaining and fairly zippy read for a book that grapples with how pop culture can reproduce and solidify systems of oppression, as well as attempt to undo those systems. I have to say I didn't find any of Harris' points particularly profound or original, but I always enjoy writers who take pop culture seriously and have interesting things to say about it.
