excellent

For those who get emmersed in theory and cultural studies, yet want it to be more grounded in real-life experience, this is a great book for you. It doesn't read as "thickly," or dryly, as other philisophical works. Even though the wording is more simple and easy to digest, the ideas are very profound and it dirrectly challenges the reader to shift their view of reality. It offers a new way to construct reality, it is not simply a critique of common realities present now. This book really sucked me in. If you're a woman of color, or even a caucasian woman, you have much higher chances of being enamored with Lugones' way of seeing her world.
