'The chapters in this volume enable readers to engage with a set of interconnected issues and problems around dialogue, politics and gender, and to explore the potential contribution of 'dialogue' to emancipatory politics. Linking high-level critical discussion to live social and political issues, it represents a serious and stimulating contribution to contemporary debates.' Valerie Bryson, University of Huddersfield
