Identities: Race, Class, Gender, and Nationality

"A landmark reader in the borderlands of our ‘post’ and ‘trans’ existences. Identities demonstrates the historical centrality of identity to Western philosophy and explores the philosophical dimensions of our contemporary struggle with identity, politics, and culture. Alcoff and Mendieta's selections provide a profound critique as well as a generative overview for anyone interested in difference, power, and construction of the individual and social self." Johnnella Butler, University of Washington, editor of Color-Line to Borderlands: The Matrix of American Ethnic Studies
