"I like the range and variety of different perspectives and voices that emerge chapter by chapter. I very much like the overall political thrust of the book…politically and theoretically it is consistent and strong. The position is well articulated and a strong argument builds as one progresses through the chapters to the end." — Esther Sokolov Fine, York University
