When the French government passed a ban on the veil in 2011,
surprisingly few French feminists spoke out against the racist
measure. Christine Delphy--the sociologist who Simone de Beauvoir
once described as "France's most exciting feminist writer"--was one
of the notable few. Castigating humanitarian liberals for demanding
cultural assimilation of the women they were purporting to "save,"
Delphy showed how criminalizing Islam in the name of feminism was
fundamentally paradoxical. Dominating Others is Delphy's manifesto
against this tendency, and for a fluid understanding of political
identity that does not place different political struggles in a
false opposition. Dismantling the absurd claim that Afghanistan was
invaded to save women, alongside the notion that homosexuals and
immigrants alike should reserve their self-expression for private
settings, Dominating Others is a call for a true universalism that
sacrifices no one at the expense of others.
