"This book opens vital conversations and makes fascinating theoretical interventions into the 'social justice turn' in technical communication. Anyone in this field with more than a fleeting commitment to social justice must carefully consider Walton, Moore, and Jones’ insights on intersectionality, coalition, power, and privilege."
-Karma R. Chávez, University of Texas at Austin, USA
