Reviews

This original, visionary, urgent, and brilliantly argued book significantly advances political theory and social movement criticism. --Urvashi Vaid, author of Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay & Lesbian Liberation


[Spade] provides an eminently teachable text for courses on power in society, social movements, and community organizing in the university, and outside. . . .We will have to take Spade's proposals very seriously to build a movement centered on those most affected by administrative violence. --Marcia Ochoa Social Justice
