In this book, Wynne Walker Moskop addresses the practical and
theoretical problem of how unequal political friendships evolve
toward arrangements the parties consider reciprocal and just, a
problem neglected by scholars of democracy who associate
reciprocity and justice only with equal parties. Jane Addams
insisted that Hull House was not a charity with philanthropic
aspirations; rather it had to bring "two classes" to a shared
purpose and more egalitarian relation. The problem was, and still
is, how? Drawing on several bodies of scholarship-including
Addams's writings, secondary works about her collaborations,
literature on Aristotelian political friendship, and feminist
scholarship on the global migration of care workers-Moskop shows
the importance of Addams's practices to the continuing relevance of
unequal economic relations for shaping political friendship.
Contributing to a lively conversation about Addams's work as a
pragmatist thinker and social reformer that began three decades
ago, Jane Addams on Inequality and Political Friendship is an
invaluable resource to students of democratic theory, feminist
political theory and philosophy, and American pragmatism. It
illuminates the importance of overlooked conditions for friendship
and justice in unequal relations, given people's ongoing
subordination because of race, class, gender, and citizenship
status in the U.S. and transnationally.
