Student reviews of Nola Cottom
Review from a student who took N 226
Mrs. Cotton is a trip. She always tells stories about her experiences in the mental hospital setting to relate to the material we are covering, and sometimes even throws in her own personal stories. The lecture material is very interesting, and the 2 hours we are in class seem to fly by every time. There are 3 exams in this class and no final, and Mrs. Cottom stresses that some questions come straight from the book and aren't covered in lecture. Honestly, I skimmed the book the night before exams and got an A in the class, so I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the book.

Review from a student who took TYaWgEEczuqkdCo
This looks amazing and is so nrcsesaey.One thing that propelled me to attend graduate school was my wanting to explore what I saw as an inherent contradiction within the Black Power Movement in that they demanded liberation for all African Americans and preached and practiced subjugation of African American women. That some call for freedom and social justice while not realizing or checking their complicity in the oppression of others has puzzled me. Though my interest in the BPM waned, I still pondered this contradiction and see this as I read and interact with many White feminists. How can a truly liberatory feminism ignore issues of poverty, immigration, sex and sexuality, and/or race ? How can feminist truly interested in and dedicated to justice become angered or offended when their ignoring/ignorance of issues of poverty, immigration, sex and sexuality, and/or race ?
