Trade ReviewHonorable Mention, Gloria E. Anzaldúa Award, National Women's Studies Association (NWSA), 2014.
"This truly unique and exciting study uses the writings of U.S. women of color to transform the ways in which we do academic and political work, positing a model of interconnectivity between the individual and the community as an alternative to identity politics. The book will appeal to intellectuals interested in social justice of any kind."--Suzanne Bost, author of
Encarnación: Illness and Body Politics in Chicana Feminist Literature"Offers a thoughtful and provocative theoretical framework for moving through and beyond binary thinking and identity politics. . . . Those interested in social justice work will benefit from Keating's post-oppositional framework for bringing about social change. Highly Recommended."--
Choice"
Transformation Now! is an important addition to the body of visionary literature by feminists and womanists of color."--
Women's Review of Books "Keating's text simultaneously offers a sense of urgency and hope, a utopian view paired with a sense of possibility and sometime even inevitability if her stance is adopted, considered, or even pushed against. Her desire for igniting a new conversation about making change is inspiring to practitioners looking for a new way to approach the challenges they face in and out of the classroom."--
Journal of American Culture"AnaLouise Keating has presented us with what is perhaps the biggest innovation in critical theory in decades: a roadmap for moving beyond oppositional frameworks and the conflict/resistance-based models of social change and identity that they invariably produce. New vistas for deep and sustainable change open up on the heels of
Transformation Now!"--Layli Maparyan, author of
