Rezensionen

"A major strength of the book lies in its employment of numerous methodologies in the study of a wide variety of topics around the embodiment of ugliness ... . which makes this book a unique work of political theory, broadly construed. ... On the Politics of Ugliness is a timely book with many layers and complex analyses that raise original points alongside some artistic expressions that provide a lot of depth to the subject matter."
