Recensioner i media

Ortega stays away from the encrypted, abstract, metaphysical language of the academy. Instead, her style is sharp and concrete in naming things for what they are. Cuban Feminist Theology tackles relevant themes with the Caribbean strongwind of its critical apparatus but also with the fresh breeze ofits lively text.
