Reviews

"This is an exciting and exhilarating book, clearly destined to have a lasting influence in feminist theory. Here, Zerilli makes a serious effort to go beyond the terrain of identity politics and its critics. The emphasis is put, on the contrary, on political judgment as the basis for forming political communities and on practices of freedom." - Ernesto Laclau, University of Essex"
