Recenzje

"An exciting and provocative collection of essays by some of the most important legal scholars writing today." -- Lani Guinier, University of Pennsylvania Law School
"I don't know why some of the most fascinating new thinking about identity and its meanings should have come out of the legal academy. . .or rather, I didn't know until I read this book, which demonstrates persuasively, from a whole range of directions, the centrality of law to the dense network of questions that we explore under the rubric of identity. No clearer demonstration could be offered of the power of a critical legal studies to illuminate some of the most important questions in contemporary social and political theory." -- K. Anthony Appiah, Harvard University
