Interdisciplinary Books by Cara
“Alhadeff’s work is a fascinating fusion of art and scholarship. Intricate theoretical text is paralleled by unexpected photographic imagery – sensuous, enigmatic and layered. ”
Lucy Lippard on Viscous Expectations: Justice, Vulnerability, The Ob-scene (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2014)
“Zazu Dreams reclaims the power of language as both a poetic intervention into politics and storytelling and as a powerful force for reclaiming the radical imagination. Zazu Dreams moves across interdisciplinary borders, collapses genres, unsettles how we think about [ourselves and] the planet.”
Dr. Henry Giroux on Zazu Dreams: Beyond the Scarab and the Dung Beetle, A Cautionary Fable for the Anthropocene Era
