Interesting insight into the role of "masculinity" in evangelical circles and their political influence.
A lot of things that made me want to throw up, particularly in the last chapter about abuse in these churches and their hypocritical coverups. But it goes to explain a lot about why "family values" don't matter at the end, as long as the abuser represents a strong male leading figure…

Well, that's a thorough book. Could have been slightly shortened for my taste. But at least it's thorough. Only weird thing: after over 400 pages, it just ends. No conlusion, no outlook. After such an in-depth analysis, this end came unexpected. But Davis' style is incredibly readable, given the topic's complexity.

The book's pretty much just about New York City

An incredible insight into how events unfolded from a social history perspective. A riveting read, very well edited by Julia Boyd.

Best ethnography ever!
