The political concept of recognition has introduced new ways of
thinking about the relationship between minorities and justice in
plural societies. But is a politics informed by recognition
valuable to minorities today? Critics contend that relations of
recognition allow dominant groups to distort and essentialize the
cultures of minorities, and to co-opt them through promises for
modest reforms rather than deeper structural changes to political
systems which are unjust. In contrast, struggles for
self-determination promise freedom from the constraints one group
imposes on another. But what does this kind of freedom amount to in
a globalized world? Can a politics of self-determination avoid the
risks of recognition? What factors help avoid these risks? What
role do political actors play in helping groups negotiate relations
of recognition and self-determination successfully?
Contributors to this volume examine the successes and failures of
struggles for recognition and self-determination in relation to
claims of religious groups, cultural minorities, and indigenous
peoples on territories associated with Canada, the United States,
Europe, Latin America, India, New Zealand, and Australia. The cases
look at cultural recognition in the context of public policy about
both intellectual and physical property, membership practices, and
independence movements, while probing debates about toleration,
democratic citizenship, and colonialism.
Together the contributions point to a distinctive set of challenges
posed by a politics of recognition and self-determination to
peoples seeking emancipation from unjust relations.
