Critics Review
“Madhavi Menon has written an exhilarating manifesto. The tough-minded courage of Menon’s intervention is one of this book’s great strengths; the fierce intelligence that shapes her arguments is another. Indifference to Difference pursues a supple, peripatetic, and deeply principled methodology, informed by a nuanced theoretical acumen that declares itself at every turn.”-Kathryn Schwarz, Vanderbilt University
