"True to its title, The Paradox of Difference offers fresh ways of thinking about how variances among places and groups of people are constructed and rendered meaningful and with what consequences. It is a highly considerate text; the author uses clear, precise language throughout each chapter and distills dense theoretical concepts well." * Cori Jakubiak, Grinnell CollegeMore details
