When reading books I care about, I always try to subject them to the critical standards I scrutinise Neo-liberal and ancap ideas to, for this my main gripe with this books stems from two points:
1- The book use of sensationalised wording in some chapters can be self-indulgent at times.
2- The overall focus on examples from the US; while there was an example from Hong Kong protestors, I would have liked to see more resources about other mutual-aid projects in other countries.
Besides this, the book is a my goto book for self-organising without slipping into a charity model. And the pitfalls are detailed with examples that go beyond anecdotal and more into the patterns that they usually fail through.
with respect to the author sufferings and personal story, I don't feel she shared anything with the reader. Milk & Honey tries to be so generic that anyone can relate to something in it.
very basic, shallow and vague. I don't know if it qualifies to be described as a book where half the pages are drawings.
I thought that writing from the perspective of trees offers a great captivating potential, unfortunately, the book is unnecessarily dry and still focuses in a human-centric way
