It's What You THOUGHT But Probably Would Never Say

Bonnie Allen offers an insightful, hilarious analysis of American political and popular culture. Part academic, part mother wit and part trickster, Allen offers the reader an outlet to laugh, and to think. Topics ranging from the first black president to sex should make this book accessible to a number of readers.
