theory to live by

i love this book. it is one of the few books that i've come across that really speaks to my position. with evey page, i feel like i come closer to a workable ethical and political position. cate sandilands brings together different kinds of theory, and works towards imagining a political project that can be truly liberatory. this is one of my five most treasured theory books. highly recommneded!
