Democracy and Difference
libdoc April=1994

Author(s): Phillips, Ann
Publisher: Polity Press 1993, Footnotes, Index
Keywords: Feminism Politics philosophy

Contents:
A new emphasis on diversity and difference is replacing older
myths of nation or community. A new attention to gender, race,
ethnicity, language or religion is disrupting earlier
preoccupations with class. But the welcome extended to
heterogeneity can bring with it a disturbing fragmentation and
closure. an we develop a Vision of democracy through difference:a
politics that neither denies group identities or capitulates to
them?
In this volume, Anne Phillips develops the feminist challenge to
exclusionary versions of democracy, citizenship and equality.
