How Like a Leaf - An Interview with Donna Haraway (Hardcover)

'I experience language as an intensely physical process,' writes Donna Haraway. 'I cannot not think through metaphor ... Biochemistry and language just don't feel that different to me.' Since the appearance of her monumental Primate Visions and the now classic essay A Manifesto for Cyborgs, feminist historian of science Donna Haraway has created a way of thinking about culture, science, and the production of knowledge that has made her one of the most highly regarded theorists in America. She is admired for her passion and rigor, her wicked ironies, and her deep commitment to issues of gender and race, as well as species.
The author of four seminal works on science and culture, Donna Haraway here speaks for the first time in a direct and non-academic voice. Thyrza Nichols Goodeve leads her subject through conversation about Haraway's intellectual development, theories and influences, the role of Catholicism in her thinking, and how her ethical stands have mirrored issues in her personal life. For readers who have admired and struggled with the rich and complex performances of her earlier works, How Like A Leaf will be a welcome inside view of the author's thought.
