Jensen my hero

Robert Jensen is a professor of journalism at the University of Texas. He is an anti-pornography activist and I must say one of my heroes. Jensen also writes on the topics of feminism, race, politics and foreign policy for alternative and mainstream media.

Jensen's authored books include Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity (2007); The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege (2005); Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity (2004); Writing DIssent: Taking Radical Ideas from Margins to the Mainstream (2001) and his most recent All My Bones Shake: Seeking a Progressive Path to the Prophetic Voice. He has also co-written titles such as Pornography: The Production and Consumption of Inequality (1998); and Freeing the First Amendment: Critical Perspectives on Freedom of Expression.
