The range of materials it analyzes, the amount of original research Kruegerhas conducted, and the breadth of knowledge she demonstrates across literature, history, and law is quite stunning. I do not know of another book that covers somuch ground without ever losing sight of its commitment to transforming the way weproceed as scholars so as to further a larger project of advocacy.
