Seldom has a work of such careful intellectual rigor and fairness been so deeply touching. Yoshino... masterfully melds autobiography and legal scholarship, marking a move from more traditional pleas for civil equality to a case for individual autonomy in identity politics... As healing as it is polemical, this book has tremendous potential as a touchstone in the struggle for universal human dignity.
