‘Arriving at a hazardous historical juncture where forces of repression are consolidating worldwide, this remarkable collection of essays not only helps us gain a more granular purchase on important issues currently threatening our freedoms, but succeeds in fostering fecund contexts for the mobilization of dissent. An important book for these unsettling times.’ —Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Chapman University and author of Pedagogy of Insurrection
