This is a work of genius. A Gift to Humankind.

Revisado: 03-10-23

"Vexy Thing" by Imani Perry is a work of genius and humility. It enlightens the reader and coalesces together, in my view, many fields of understanding, scholarship, and study.

It seems to me that the positive social, scholarly, and ‘wisdom’ impact of this work on humankind may become wider than ever imagined. Perry illuminates well how 'always evolving', 'adaptable' and overbearing negative 'patriarchal' architectures have developed/grown like mega-cities within the neural matrix of our social behaviour patterns,

Further these negative aspects of patriarchal 'vexy' patterns have been passed down for the benefit of the 'few' over the invisible/unheard 'many' for generations. The outside appearances or paradigms & social memes may change outwardly but the power imbalances stay the same at the center of this patriarchal architecture.

The unhealthy patriarchy can distort and unhinge right relationships and increase the uneven yet sanctioned powers of patriarchy over too many people who are struggling in the modern world. That’s far too many of us. Perry observes how this vexy architecture has been evolving and ongoing for centuries, and how these vexy things have been all too 'negatively' impactful on humanity and unhelpfully successful.

I hope that one day future works by Perry will drill down even further on the vexy things, this patriarchy that has been imbedded into the architecture of our laws and societal ways of being.

Her work reveals that Plato's works and many other great works have always been incomplete, because they have never had Imani Perry's voice included in their thinking to help them be more balanced.

Thank you for writing this work, Imani Perry. May "Vexy Thing" be a deeply and seriously studied seminal global work of great scholarship for our modern times.
