Reviews
Dazzling. * SubStance *
Julia Kristeva's Powers of Horror, which theorizes the notion of the 'abject' in a series of blisteringly insightful analyses, is as relevant, as necessary, and as courageous today as it seemed in 1984. -- Peter Connor, Barnard College
Critics who seek an alternative to sexist and, in general, imperialist practices in psychoanalytic writing will want to read [this book]. * Discourse *
