"Radical Play offers a sustained narrative of how toymakers engaged with and responded to critiques of toys related to violence and racial and gender stereotypes. Rob Goldberg tells terrific stories about the efforts of activist groups and the industry, collating them in such a way that toys become linked to broader social, cultural, and political moves in the United States. His critical and nuanced account of the toy world's politics tells an important story while serving as a model for how future researchers might engage with toys as primary sources."–Meredith A.
