Reviews

Categories We Live By is a fresh and illuminating look at the construction of human categories. * Ron Mallon, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, Washing University in St. Louis * What does it mean to say that identities are socially constructed? This excellent book digs deep into the metaphysical and political issues involved in this idea. Asta is an immensely talented philosopher, and here she brings the debate over gender to the next level. A book to be reckoned with. * Linda Martin Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center *
