Reviews

A very ambitious project which engages critically with a timely topic... It crucially brings to the fore the voices and ways of life of those often marginalized or otherwise left out. Fiona McCormack, University of Waikato Interdisciplinary research is all the rage, but rarely does one find a single volume that manages to weave such varied perspectives and approaches into a fascinating whole. Madeleine Hall-Arber, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
