“Second rate” is a big strong—her novels are good imho, but Google’s attempt to idolize her is way over the top for sure.
It is a good thing they haven’t discovered Steven Barnes. (Lion’s Blood, Zulu Heart) :-)
(Those sci-fi novels are about blood-thirsty blacks slaughtering white people—maybe a bit too violent for the kumbaya lefty crowd.)
"...Lion's Blood...presents an alternate world where an Islamic Africa is the center of technological progress and learning while Europe remains largely tribal and backward..."
So all it is is Kill White People P0rn for those who get off on killing white people, and can read. These are folks who would murder my children because of the color of their skin.
I say bring on the Civil War now, while we still stand a chance of winning.
I can't decide which is more dangerous, violence inducing and hateful...
Fake News?
Fake history?
Fake "ancestry.com" glorious feel good crap about African greatness that never was and never can be?
Common mistake.
I would rather have an "I like it" as that IS your opinion humble or not, and as adults we can decide "good" for ourselves.
