"Muddying the Waters is a searching memoir of one woman's struggle with struggle itself. It breaks from the typical academic genre: fractures the page, leaves fragments untranslated, invokes past and present coauthors, stages a play, asks impossible questions, and ends with a metaphor of impossible struggles-- a small bird fighting a fire, one beak-full of water per flight. The prose is self-critical, courageous, poetical, and open-hearted. The book cannot be read dispassionately by anyone who sees their own reflection in that bird's travail."--Gender, Place & Culture
