What challenges are presented by the claim that diversity should be
celebrated? How should equality politics respond to controversial
constituencies, such as smokers and sports hunters, when they
position themselves as disadvantaged? Challenging Diversity brings
a new and original approach to key issues facing social, political
and cultural theory. Critically engaging with feminist, radical
democratic and liberal scholarship, the book addresses four major
challenges confronting a radical equality politics. Namely, what
does equality mean for preferences and choices that appear harmful;
are equality's subjects individuals, groups or something else; what
power do dominant norms have to undermine equality-oriented
reforms; and can radical practices endure when they collide with
the mainstream? Taking examples from religion, gender, sexuality,
state policy-making and intentional communities, Challenging
Diversity maps new ways of understanding equality, explores the
politics of its pursuit, and asks what kinds of diversity does a
radical version of equality engender.
