Review Quotes:
"[Erspamer's] application of classic texts by Sartre, Said, Arendt, and Kristeva to the dynamics between majority and minority cultures emphasizes the dangers inherent in demands for either exclusion or complete assimilation and points to the relevance of the cautionary tales for today. This idea is not new, but it certainly bears repeating."--Monatshefte
