This is a book of dazzling erudition [that is] not channeled into the disinterested pursuit of critique as enlightenment, but a constant questioning of the theorist as activist, and the activist as theorist... Violent Modernities in chapter after chapter [is] an expression of love as a brawl with law for space—the space to invoke, listen to and perform law differently—in a quest marked by grace and daring.
