Review: This book read like one of my school essays that only had 200 words of content, but I stretched it to be 1000 words. Ahmed turns words over and meditates on their meaning. Many of her readers may find this thoughtful and poetic. I couldn't help but think, get to the point already. I was fascinated by her life story and excited to read this book. I only got through the introduction and Chapter 1 because the content of the book is buried by fluff. I haven't read any of her past works, so maybe I just don't appreciate her writing style. Regardless, I'm disappointed that I paid for a book I won't read.

    Description: In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.
