Galatea's Pants #22

Lauren apologizes in her introduction for what she claims is GP's identity crisis. But there's little to apologize for because it seems that she's perfected the blend of personal and political. It's a hard line to ride, since most political articles are too dry for some, and some political articles are too fluffy for others. But the writing she's collected is both thought-provoking and accessible. Lauren has included a Tim Wise article about white privilege, a look at the financial crisis, 5 mass media myths about Hugo Chavez, how to be a good ally, and an article on Prop 8 in California help make up this well-rounded issue.
