Review Quotes:
"Lugones teaches us vigilance, tentativeness, acuity, and playfulness in remembering that we are different selves in different worlds of sense." --Margaret Urban Walker, Donald J. Schuenke Chair in Philosophy, Marquette University
"In Pilgrimages/Peregrinajes, Maria Lugones brilliantly intervenes at the level of meaning by offering a logic of resistance, giving words to what she learned in loving engagement with companion resistors. Asserting that as women of color we cannot stand on any ground that is not also a crossing, Lugones invites us to move across realities, bring our cultures into hybrid life, and shape ground together. Pilgrimages/Peregrinajes is a crucial epistemology of liberation, taking us further in an emancipatory direction." --Gloria E. Anzaldúa, author of Borderlands/La Frontera "Astounding conceptual innovations and distinct conceptual creations." --Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Off Our Backs: The Feminist NewsJournal "Maria Lugones's collection has been so eagerly awaited because of the uncompromising clarity with which she captures the suffocating logics of political and conceptual domination and her unmistakable conviction that creative resistance to such suffocation is made possible only in close company with others. Pilgrimages/Peregrinajes provides sustained and deeply loving instruction in how to rethink the very meanings of justice and agency." --Elizabeth Spelman, Smith College
