<p>Katrak's text offers the first sustained scholarly account of the disruptive subversion, generative promise, and persistently evolving performance manifestoes of one of South Africa's most prominent and prolific arts practitioners and thinkers.</p>
- Juanita Finestone-Praeg, Journal of the African Literature Association
<p>This is a rich, complex book that tackles and criss-crosses race, space, social and gender divides across historic periods, continents, local and global contexts. This is what makes it amazing and also challenging to read. It is theoretically rich and at times challenging to hold the many different theorists, reviewers' views, and different paradigms being invoked at once.</p>
- Yvett Hutchison, South African Theatre Journal
<p>With its historical, cultural, and spatial contextualization of an artist whose work has cross many gendered and racial boundaries, Katrak's <i>Jay Pather, Performance, and Spatial Politics in South Africa</i> is a benchmark for future scholarship on South African dance and performance.</p>
