This hugely impressive book is a magnificent achievement.” -- Rebecca E. Karl, author of * China’s Revolutions in the Modern World: A Brief Interpretive History *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eWaiting for the Cool Moon\u003c\/i\u003e is a fierce, passionate book, one that is as suited to these times as it is to the period it explores. Wendy Matsumura brings a powerful theoretical apparatus to bear: the Marxian analysis of her earlier work is transformed by her intense engagement with the theoretical and comparative work of Black and Indigenous women scholars. The effects of this encounter are profound. By attending to revolutionary practice and acknowledging the pain and sadness of absence, Matsumura locates the urgent ethical commitment of a radical historian. An outstanding critical history.” -- Christopher T.
