Reading Across Borders: Storytelling and Knoweldges of Resistance
"In this fascinating and important work, Shari Stone-Mediatore sets out to theorize the intellectual value and historical role of stories and storytelling. The result is a rich and compelling book that asks us to rethink the border between story and truth, narrative and knowledge. In the course of developing a transnational feminist theory of marginal experience narratives, Stone-Mediatore has made a valuable and wonderfully readable contribution to the existing body of work on the politics of knowledge." --Paula Rothenberg, author of Invisible Privilege A Memoir about Race, Class, and Gender"This book treats dilemmas that rest at the heart of debates in contemporary feminist and critical thought with originality and subtlety..."--Lisa Disch, University of Minnesota and author of Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Philosophy"Stone-Mediatore offers an important re-affirmation of experience-rooted narratives as the critical basis for practical struggles and liberatory politics."--Linda Martín Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University
