Rezension

'Contesting Bodies is an exciting collection that explores the complex questions that flow from placing the body at the centre of analysis.' - Deborah McPhail (Labour/Le Travail vol 73:2014)

'Unique collection...Readers are offered a series of thoughtful and well-researched essays ranging from the empirical to the post-structural which cover a variety of methodologies, including textual, visual, and oral.'

- Jennifer Susan Marotta (Canadian Historical Review vol 95:03:2014)
