Margaret Randall is one of our cherished veteran mavericks and an intellectual of global consequence. With astonishing courage and self-criticality Randall has sought 'to restore language twisted by our sociopolitical systems' in order to provide for us 'a dignity that documents and empowers.' ... More Than Things recounts a commitment to art and to the examined life as a quest for knowledge produced from the shockwaves of history. - Roberto Tejada, author of Full Foreground and National Camera: Photography and Mexico's Image Environment With this amazing collection of memory and celebration, we can all benefit from Margaret Randall's brilliant, courageous, and redefining life of activism and keen observation. Everyone interested in our ongoing journey for women's rights, peace and poetry, justice and freedom, dignity and human rights for all will rush to read and gift this important, galvanizing book. - Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of The Declassified Eisenhower and the Eleanor Roosevelt volumes
