Recensioner i media

“Economies of Desire is very well written and compelling, drawing us into two historical contexts and illustrating women's agency as they negotiate the economic, political, and social constraints. Cabezas’ many years of field research provide nuance to her analysis, and her critique of the feminist discourse about human rights is completely on target.”-Patricia Zavella, Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz
