Editorial Reviews
Review
This finely tuned collection of writings from some of the most astute readers of Jacques Ranciere throughout the world not only engages the analytics of his work, but put his insights to work. Ranciere's own contribution - as a reader of his readers - is nothing less than incisive. In short, Deranty and Ross have edited a stellar set of essays that will become a primary source for anyone interested in the singularly unique, multidisciplinary aspects of Ranciere's critical ideas.--Sanford Lakoff
