Reviews for Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds: Storied Lives of Immigrant Muslim Women
'An innovative work that connects antiracist feminism and disability studies... Dossa's work is both powerful and innovative in the way it draws on the voices of minority women who reclaim their identities while simultaneously influencing the mainstream. I recommended it highly for professionals and students alike in both fields.'
