    Original complaint about spiked review and more positive one published in LARB was here but is now protected:

    This is whiteness in action. This is silencing BIPOC scholars *doing* the work and labor while white men (and women) profit by doing half-assed work and their club of editors (yes they are friends - as noted in an email) work behind the scenes to keep us in the "dark".

    Also:

    24 hrs later & no word from anyone. Notably columbusing, gatekeeping and academic dishonesty takes place daily for BIPOC and it is more often than not that particular wyte scholars aren't receptive to call-ins, let alone being held accountable.
