For over a decade, feminist studies have occupied an extraordinary
position in the United States. On the one hand, they have
contributed to the development of a strong 'identity' politics; on
the other, they have been part of the post-structuralist critique
of the unified subject - its experience, truth and presence - and
of the massive challenge to Western metaphysics and humanism. Along
with race and ethnic studies, feminist enquiry has moved beyond the
fiction of a unitary feminism to address the differences within the
study of difference. The essays in this volume all address
feminism's relationships to theory and politics at the level of the
criticism and production of knowledge. Readers and students of
politics, history, literature, philosophy, sociology and the
sciences - anyone with a stake in theory and politics - will
benefit from this powerful book.
