Reviews
...this Joy James reader is at its core a portrait of 'the making of a dissident voice' ... What we most desperately need in a world that fears and silences opposition-or worse-are revolutionaries who speak truth to power and beckon us to stand with them in solidarity. A luta continua. The struggle continues. - from the Foreword by Beverly Guy-Sheftall These broad-ranging essays circle around the topic of building community under siege. Communities can be 'thorny ties,' as Joy James notes, yet are vital for developing a critical consciousness on one's society. James also provides an astute analysis of the antirevolutionary trends in social theory today. Herein one will find the voice of a dissident humanist in full flower. - Linda Martin Alcoff, coeditor of Constructing the Nation: A Race and Nationalism Reader
