Reviews

Hits hard at the tough questions. Deeply thought-provoking! --N.K. Jemisin author of The Inheritance Trilogy (10/12/2022 12:00:00 AM) For the creators behind modern myths this is a necessary interrogation of what matters on the page and in the real world. For readers, this is a deep dive into why these stories appeal to us and how they challenge dominant narratives. Burke's Hero Me Not reminds us all that diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality are more than buzz words or jargon. The stories we tell, the stories we consume matter on every level. --Mikki Kendall author of Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot (10/26/2022 12:00:00 AM)
