The past several decades have seen the emergence of a vigorous
ongoing debate about the 'politics of recognition'. The initial
impetus was provided by the reflections of Charles Taylor and
others about the rights to cultural recognition of historically
marginalized groups in Western societies. Since then, the
parameters of the debate have considerably broadened. However,
while debates about the politics of recognition have yielded
significant theoretical insights into recognition, its logical and
necessary counterpart, misrecognition, has been relatively
neglected. 'The Politics of Misrecognition' is the most meticulous
reflection to date on the importance of misrecognition for the
understandings of our political and personal experience. A team of
leading experts from a range of disciplines, including philosophy,
political theory, sociology, psychoanalysis, history, moral economy
and criminology present different theoretical frameworks in which
the politics of misrecognition may be understood. They apply these
frameworks to a wide variety of contexts, including those of class
identity, disability, slavery, criminal victimization and domestic
abuse. In this way, the book provides an essential resource for
anyone interested in the dynamics of misrecognition and their
implications for the development of political and social theory.
