Rezensionen

"Overall, In Other Words represents an impressive effort by Ray tolink, compress but also carefully reread a wide swath of Spivak'swork. At times disorienting in its scope like the theorist's ownwork, Ray's book offers a sustained engagement with some ofSpivak's most valuable insights and has me returning to her oeuvrewith fresh eyes."
