Manifesting Power Reviews

'In all chapters, the authors' unwillingness to simply accept the frameworks that have gone before, especially those based in Western stereotypes, biases and assumptions, is their greatest contribution ... That they do not agree ... makes this volume even more useful and interesting as well as innovative.' - Kelley Hayes-Gilpin Northern Arizona University
