--Choice
"The book is acute, multiform and provocative. It strikes an independent path that it also offers as exemplary."
The Australian
"Dismissing more fashionable postmodern accounts that describe the fragmentation of modern society, Elliott with considerable style deliberates on how recent cultural transformations offer opportunities for the creation of new subjectivities"
