Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ranging across topics as diverse as Magic Johnson's body and pharmacological 'feminism, ' [Zita] skillfully massages her persistent concern to problematize the appropriation of postmodern theory in contemporary studies... A delightful read, and a work that has useful applications in courses." -- Christa Davis Acampora, "Hypatia"

Review

"Makes an original and significant contribution to lesbian and gay philosophy. It takes up a spectrum of very timely topics, including black athleticism, AIDS, and Prozac, some of which are hardly ever discussed by philosophers, and does a beautiful job of blending abstract and concrete in its attack on the dualism at the root of the oppressions of the body." -- Claudia Card, author of Lesbian Choices
