I found this a very compelling dissection of systems of complaint, which has broad applicability beyond the confines of the universities in which it is set. For me, and as it explicitly acknowledges, many other readers, it chornicles the maddening feeling of knowing you have been wronged and yet having no recourse to right that wrong, as well as the gaslighting that takes place when you attempt to. It was very thorough and matter of fact about something that is usually made complicated to obscure blatant abuses of power.

emotional informative inspiring sad

5.0

the work put into this book is admirable and reading it was difficult.
i read it for university so i had to read all of it and take notes but it is really important to know this and it felt affirming too because i could recognise these structres in my own life. 
would definitely recommend university students and staff should read this book

It's very helpful. I wish I took better notes. It gives me a lot of insight on institutional abuse & violence. Like that's important due to getting things lined up.
