Reviews

"I like this book very much... It's a wonderful methodological dose of salts for anyone doing research 'on' so-called pariah populations, where the researcher is essentially called upon to interpret the population to the conventional world... A book about the field experiences of a woman of color with women of color is virtually unique, as far as I know." --Joan W. Moore, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
