American Anatomies - Theorizing Race and Gender

"Wiegman goes well beyond current discussions in working out the theoretical challenges and cultural logics of rethinking difference within the postmodern condition, and she correctly pinpoints the overlap of race and gender within feminist theory as a decisive zone of critical articulation between postmodernism and oppositional politics."--Steven Mailloux, University of California, Irvine
