Recenzje

What do we need in a moment of catastrophe: environmental, sanitary, cultural, democratic, pedagogic? Not pain relievers, but rage. But not only rage, also infinite subtlety and sensitivity. But not only sensitivity, also erudition, memory, inflexible conceptual rigor. All this, and more, we find in Stoler's collection of essays, which weaves together the sinews, elusive inequalities, and creative refusals of imperial democracy. I call this a book of necessity.
