passage 3
P1
Donna Haraway's Primate Visions is the most ambitious book on the history of science yet written from a feminist perspective, embracing not only the scientific construction of gender but also the interplay of race, class, and colonial and postcolonial culture with the "Western" construction of the very concept of nature itself. ███████████ ██ █ ████████████ ███ ███████ ███ ████ ██████ ███████ ████████ ████ ██ ████ ████ █████████ ████ ████ ███████ █████ ████████ ███ ███████████ █████████ ███ ███████████ ███████████ ██ █████ ███████ █████ ██████ ███ ████████
