| Summary |
"This is an integrated overview of the themes and discourses of feminism and multiculturalism that inform the 'politics of difference'. The book concludes that, while in their response to the 'politics of difference' contemporary liberals have shown considerable sensitivity to the concerns and aspirations of advocates of diversity, only a liberalism based on a principled commitment to value pluralism will be able to accommodate the complex set of demands associated with the claims of difference and particularity. The manner in which this text evaluates both feminist and multicultural discourses makes this book vital reading for students of liberalism, feminism and multiculturalism."--Jacket |
