Publisher Notes

With the recent conservative retrenchment, educational institutions have witnessed a backlash against the gains made by feminist and antiracist activists. Dangerous Territories examines higher education as one site of this backlash, at the same time challenging the binary framing of discourse as "reactionary" vs. "progressive," or Right vs. Left.

Dangerous Territories draws together contributors working within and across a variety of disciplines including law, history, sociology, education, literature, women's studies, queer theory, cultural politics and postcolonialism. This volume presents contesting voices and positions on whether or not the concepts of backlash and anti-oppression can adequately explain the historical and political development of social movements and radical educational practice. Contributors include: Himani Bannerji, Richard Cavell, Patricia Elliot, Didi Herman, Alice Pitt, Howard Soloman, and Aruna Srivastava.
