"...All of which is to say that the parts I found especially interesting in Envisioning Others were those that delved into or at least made the reader aware of strange and surprising categories and concepts that attempted to name and control difference.” Byron Ellsworth Hamann (Ohio State University) in The Medieval Review 16.11.31"Quem se dedica à cultura visual religiosa e seu impacto no cotidiano, inclusive a relação entre a religião proposta e praticada e o sistema de racismo, vai beneficiar-se significativamente e, eventualmente, encontrar inspiração para novos projetos de pesquisa, inclusive, em relação à escolha da metodologia...
