I was looking up the ISBN for The Empty Kingdom and discovered that it's been seriously reamed by an Ethiopian reader. Very interesting criticism (it's actually a review of A Coalition of Lions, though he doesn't refer to the title). I'm rather taken aback at his notion that my politics are shamelessly Eritrean Apologist.

Since this topic just came up on my reading list here today, The Book Smugglers book review blog has a large post on cultural appropriation and what it is and what it isn't (with various quotes from various authors, white ones who write poc-characters,as well as poc-author and book reader links and quotes - the book smugglers themselves are one US white and one Brit Asian girl, I believe)- specifically aimed at book covers here:

I thought they did a good summary of the rise in awareness in recent years.

And there's actually a review of my crack action fun book out this week, by the Smart Bitches, as always they articulate it all much better than I can.
