Reviews
"Morales’s book is an excellent tool for understanding some of the dynamics of social justice movements and should be part of activists’ survival kits against despair."
-- Nylca J. Muñoz Sosa Monthly Review
“Perhaps the most directly significant contribution of Medicine Stories...is Levins Morales’s framing of oppression as the most widespread and systematically reproduced source of trauma.... Medicine Stories maps the intimate and collective pathways of survival that communities and individuals find in the face of violence and injustice....”
-- Corinne Lajoie Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies
