Reviews

"...the explosion of postcolonial and 'Third World' writing reminds us that we of the dominant cultural group need new ways of knowing...Re-orienting Western Feminisms will go a long way toward helping many of us achieve this goal...[It] is an invaluable intruduction to feminist theorizing as a political process."
