<p>"<em>Feeling Power</em> is a bold and provocative book whose breadth of inquiry is stunning...Boler takes the reader on a wide-ranging interdisciplinary exploration... This book is both exciting and useful. It is a helpful resource for those of us who keep looking for better pedagogies to address ethical dilemmas in our college and university classrooms. And it is a wonderful book for anyone fascinated by the politics of emotions and by their role in ethical reasoning." -- <em>Hypatia</em>, Barbara Houston<br />"This book makes a fundamental contribution to feminist theory. <em>Feeling Power</em> gives rare insight into the politics of emotion in education. Boler is passionate about centering emotion in our understanding of intelligence and social action." -- Donna Haraway, author of <em>Modest Witness@Second Millenium.FemaleMan Meets</em><em>OncoMouse: Feminism and Technoscience</em><br />"This book argues for the need to situate the often isolated and isolating work we do in education in a historical and political framework - one that accounts for class, economic, and power relationships that we both identify with and are identified within. . . Boler ruptures the 'absent presence' of emotions in our professional lives; that is, she dares to move emotion away from the terrain of the unspeakable and into the territory of the spoken, considered, and hence 'knowable.'. . .<em>Feeling Power</em> is a text that promises discomfort, and might very well move us from complacency to action, from slumber to consciousness. . . For its power to unsettle the commonplaces of thought, for its power to cause us to recognize discomfort as a starting point of critique, we should all commend the author of <em>Feeling Power</em>" --Jennifer Driscoll (Univ. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee) for <em>JAC</em>, Vol. 20.3 (2000)."<br />"<em>Feeling Power</em> is a groundbreaking work that strikes a mortal blow against the separation of reason and emotion that has defined our thinking about the role emotions play in our lives. Boler's impressive and historically-informed study provides powerful new directions for thinking about emotions in relation to social control, education, and resistance." -- Sandra Lee Bartky, author of <em>Femininity and Domination: Studies in</em><em>the Phenomenology of Oppression</em><br />"<em>Feeling Power</em> is a wide-ranging, thought provoking and stimulating analysis of an important and little-examined nexus: the place of emotion in cognition, power and pedagogy." -- Ruth Frankenberg, author of <em>White Women,</em><em>Race Matters: The Social Construction of Whiteness</em></p>
