'This is a brilliant collection! The Handbook's editors have succeeded in making critical legal theory - in all its multifarious, subversive complexity - both accessible and compelling. Anyone hoping to come to terms with the sheer range of critical discourse that the law has inspired, or wishing to plunge headlong into the depths of a particular critical tradition, will find just what they need in this fascinating volume.'--David Garland, New York University, US
