Description
Sherene Razack's gaze is deep and searching. Bringing the insights (but not the jargon) of postcolonial theory to her search for "a theory of difference that accounts for the violence in the lives of women and our complicity in it," Razack asks us to look, and look again, at the practices in courtrooms and classrooms in which we are all enmeshed. She offers no easy answers, only the discipline of refusing to look away. This is a difficult, deep, and ultimately rewarding book.
