"Dr. Cooper's approach to considering equality law is therefore progressive, and appears to be part of a welcome trend of looking beyond the individual victim of discrimination and to society and its norms. It allows us to redefine the limits of equality law, by forcing us to reconsider what truly drives differences in treatment."-- Claire Overman , Oxford Human Rights Hub blog "[H]er third chapter is a fascinating discussion of states as sensory formations. She is attentive to both feeling as a state ethos and feeling in a thinned out state.Summing up: Recommended."-- H. G.

Reid , Choice "Davina Cooper takes the reader on an amazing journey - from an erotic bathhouse to a private school, Cooper aims to locate utopia in quotidian practice. [T]he book has surely made important contributions to utopian studies. Cooper's analysis is thoughtful and meticulous. This is a well-written book that will likely join the bookshelves of many utopian hopefuls."-- Angela Jones , International Journal of Law in Context "The imaginative possibilities of Cooper's approach, particularly when the connections sought are with 'minor stream' life, are emphatically brought home to the reader by the almost endlessly creative conceptualisation that characterises much of Everyday Utopias ."-- Will Odogwu , Feminist Legal Studies.
