"Working from the belief that research is meant not only to inform but also to promote appropriate activism, the author endeavors to work against the 'coloniality of knowledge' and the 'violent dominance of white privilege' anthropology.Highly Recommended." * Choice "I truly think this is an outstanding book! I love its design - the way it flows from context to women's stories to analysis in each chapter. Its theoretical contributions are multiple, and it is very easy to read, and absolutely fascinating in many places." * Robbie Davis-Floyd, University of Texas.
