In Political Theory and Feminist Social Criticism Brooke Ackerly
demonstrates the shortcomings of contemporary deliberative
democratic theory, relativism and essentialism for guiding the
practice of social criticism in the real, imperfect world. Drawing
theoretical implications from the activism of Third World feminists
who help bring to public audiences the voices of women silenced by
coercion, Brooke Ackerly provides a practicable model of social
criticism. She argues that feminist critics have managed to achieve
in practice what other theorists do only incompletely in theory.
Complemented by Third World feminist social criticism, deliberative
democratic theory becomes critical theory - actionable, coherent,
and self-reflective. While a complement to democratic theory, Third
World feminist social criticism also addresses the problem in
feminist theory associated with attempts to deal with identity
politics. Third World feminist social criticism thus takes feminist
theory beyond the critical impasse of the tension between
anti-relativist and anti-essentialist feminist theory.
