Reviews

Comprehensive, insightful and up-to-date, The Edinburgh Companion to Poststructuralism is an indispensable volume for anyone researching or teaching in the field. Something that makes this work so engaging is that its contributors do not shy away from taking clear stances on issues pertaining to the figures discussed; but this only serves to lend an air of relevance and urgency to the volume - characteristics often lacking in weighty tomes of this nature... [An] immersive exploration of the many facets of the ongoing event of poststructuralist thought. --Jeff Brown, George Brown College, Toronto, Philosophy in Review
