Her feature film Undertow premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2018.
“Ruth Kinna cannot be praised highly enough for writing a comprehensive, original and sympathetic work which will no doubt come to be viewed as the key text on the subject.” -- Simon Tormey, Professor of Politics, University of Nottingham “A valuable contribution to our understanding of this much misunderstood philosophy.” -- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States “Kinna is an ideal guide and has written an exemplary work of clarification and explanation. This book deserves to be read very widely.” -- David Goodway, Senior Lecturer In Political Theory, University of Leeds
