Excerpt from the review in Choice, v. 33 (June 1996):
"McClintock's magisterial study . . . is a daring articulation of the race-class-gender triad. . . . A bold redefinition of 'fetishism' challenges and enlarges Freudian and Marxist paradigms, and allows the author to move freely across the elaborate text of empire (including an astonishing range of visual images). . . . Rich, learned notes with full citations; well-integrated and indexed illustrations and text."

Review (pdf) in The Quarterly Journal of Speech, v. 87 no. 4 (Nov. 2001).
Excerpt from the review in Choice, v. 35 (Oct. 1997):
"The editors bring together essays on currently debated Third World and postcolonial issues within cultural studies. They seek to address, from a wide range of perspectives and positions, the structure of inequalities inherent in the present moment. . . . Here at last is a book that does not surrender to tired comparisons between capitalism and socialism, that takes monumentally critical themes and treats them with the seriousness and clarity they deserve. Important for general readers and beginning students through advanced researchers."
Excerpt from the review in MultiCultural Review, v. 7 no. 1 (March 1998):
"Two features distinguish {this book} from other postcolonial texts. First, the volume attempts to link U.S. multicultural debates and postcolonial critical analysis, though it emphasizes postcolonial studies. Second, the collection attempts to compensate for the relative neglect of feminist analysis in postcolonial studies. The section on gender is the largest and the essays are the strongest in the volume. These two features make Dangerous Liaisons one of the best postcolonial studies collections available."
