This text examines the implications for social theory and sexual
politics of taking difference seriously. It explores the trouble
difference makes not only for the social sciences, but also for the
people - feminists, queer theorists, postmodernists - who champion
difference. Seidman asks how social thinkers should conceptualize
differences such as gender, race, and sexuality, without reducing
them to an inferior status. He looks to the new social knowledges
for innovative approaches to difference, while pointing out the
conceptual, ethical and political difficulties which can
characterize them. This is a wide-ranging discussion of
contemporary social theory and sexual politics. In addition, it
argues persuasively for a pragmatic approach to difference troubles
in theory and politics.
