"Assembling Cunard's key political writings on race and imperialism, and graced with a well-informed critical introduction, this beautifully conceived anthology also facilitates discussion of the complex intersections of gender with other issues and forms of identification in modernism. The appendices set Cunard's texts into their original relation with contemporary modernist debates. An invaluable resource." -- Bonnie Kime Scott, San Diego State University

Moynagh's excellent introduction situates Cunard's writings and identifications in fascinating and illuminating ways. This is a terrific collection." -- Laura Marcus, University of Sussex
"Moynagh's insightful, inclusive, yet theoretically specific introduction to this collection of Cunard's essays, complemented by a cogent selection of appendices, provide the relevant cultural and historical grounds to understand Cunard and the implications her work holds for current scholarship. Reading Cunard's essays through Moynagh's carefully crafted context makes possible further revisionist readings of modernism by situating Nancy Cunard and her writing on race and empire in a way that advances understanding of the interdependent relationship between radical politics, gender, race and modernism." -- Holly McSpadden, Missouri Southern State University, in English Studies in Canada
