Bracingly candid and self-reflective, Scream from the Shadows speaks directly to the post-9-11 moment of liberal feminism's affinity with militarized and other modes of state violence. It dares us to make critical transnational feminist inquiries urgently relevant to all our ongoing transformative projects. --Lisa Yoneyama, Women and Gender Studies Institute, University of Toronto Author InformationSetsu Shigematsu is assistant professor of media and cultural studies at the University of California, Riverside.
