Reviews
"This well-written and clearly organized book challenges the reader to explore effective activism over time with directions for the future. Thus, the book would be ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in sociology, women's studies, and criminal justice that include contemporary political theory, feminist studies, and intersectional social justice. The 'call to action' structure of the book creates a platform for the facilitator to really engage the student in the option of taking an actual step to make change within the current politically diverse arena. Exercises such as this makes the book unique within this discipline and a must have within the classroom." -- Shauntey James * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
"Taylor is a feminist political theorist who offers sophisticated arguments about philosophical principles and feminist practices together with an accessible discussion of core texts from women of color. She writes for multidisciplinary feminist readers already familiar with classics such as position papers from the Combahee River Collective and essays by Audre Lorde but does so with sufficient attention to explaining these and other arguments from the rich field of feminist theorizing. Students just becoming aware of this area of study will get a vibrant introduction, and more knowledgeable readers will find this an innovative and helpful approach. . . . Highly recommended. General readers through faculty; professionals." -- M. M. Ferree * Choice *
