Reviews

<p> Families Apart is a remarkable and elegant achievement demonstrating beautifully the power of theorizing 'the concrete, ' the inseparability of 'the global and the intimate, ' and the all too rarely achieved potential of activist-scholarship to reach further and more deeply than either practice alone. It is compelling in every regard. --Cindi Katz, City University of New York
