"Kristeva . . . follows up The Sense and Non-Sense of Revolt with this important, interdisciplinary tour de force." — Library Journal

"The reader will encounter in these pages the literary music of allusive, profound passages that uniquely characterize the expression of Kristeva's thoughts." — Choice

"Kristeva's work is an intricate mix of cultural criticism and psychoanalysis. . . . Kristeva's call to return to the intimate is salutory in a world given over to the dictates of production and consumption alone. The comments on patriotism, nationalism, hospitality and cosmopolitanism are politically astute and ethically humanist." — Pramod K. Nayar, Philosophy in Review
