Sexual Justice / Cultural Justice - Critical Perspectives in Political Theory and Practice (Hardcover, annotated edition)

This key text explores the relationship between cultural justice and sexual justice in multicultural societies in a new light. The authors challenge the framing of the 'feminism and multiculturalism' as one of inevitable conflict, as well as the portrayal of liberal sexual equality and cultural rights as irreconcilable, moving the debate beyond the culture/gender impasse.
The book focuses on three theoretical themes from a feminist perspective: the meaning and role of culture and identity in politics; the problem of autonomy in relation to culture and identity; and the crucial role of democracy in addressing the theoretical and practical problems raised by this set of issues. The diverse contributors break new theoretical ground by providing detailed engagement with the concrete experiences of women and minorities who are caught in the dilemmas of gender and cultural justice. The collected chapters address sexual/cultural justice in a range of different countries, offering illuminating case studies on Britain, South Africa, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Mexico, and the United States.
Students and researchers working in the areas of gender and feminist theory, politics, law, philosophy and sociology, will find this book to be of strong interest.
