Reviews for The Whale Rider

This is a remarkable book...The book sets down a challenge to those of us involved in aesthetics and the arts-particularly to those of us who are not participants in religious ceremonies and who are not members of religious communities. It is highly readable and rewarding; and full of argument and generosity to those against whom the author takes issue. I repeat: this is a remarkable book. Edward Winters British Journal of Aesthetics
