Review Quotes:
"Ranging from politics to epistemology, from the theories of embodiment and aesthetics to colonialism, Gender after Lyotard stages a much-needed feminist engagement with diverse aspects of Lyotard's work. I am especially impressed by the comprehensive scope of this well-thought-out volume: it makes an important contribution to feminist theory and Lyotard studies alike." -- Ewa PÂonowska Ziarek, author of An Ethics of Dissensus: Postmodernity, Feminism, and the Politics of Radical Democracy
"Marked by sensitivity to what Lyotard was about, this collection is the first to address Lyotard and gender." -- Dawne McCance, author of Medusa's Ear: University Foundings from Kant to Chora L
