Reviews

"This book offers a fresh perspective on the concept of creolization and on salient debates in political theory concerning multiculturalism, comparative analysis, (trans)nationalism, and globalization, just to name a few; it therefore makes an important contribution to the field of political theory, as well as to many others. -Charles Walls, Bard College
