Summary

""Pedagogies of Crossing" is a tour de force. M. Jacqui Alexander addresses the conditions that make multiculturalism possible and powerfully shows us that those conditions are ultimately ethical and spiritual. Beautifully written and deeply moving, this book shows us how we need an ethic of translation if we are to be able to engage in classroom teaching so that both students and teachers can grapple with the politics of our complex, globalized world. "Pedagogies of Crossing "is a must read for anyone in women's studies, anthropology, political science, English, comparative literature, or sociology."--Drucilla Cornell, author of "Defending Ideals: War, Democracy, and Political Struggles"

Author Biography

M. Jacqui Alexander is a professor of women's studies and gender studies at the University of Toronto.
