In Centering Epistemic Injustice: Epistemic Labor, Willful
Ignorance, and Knowing Across Hermeneutical Divides, Kamili Posey
asks what it means for accounts of epistemic injustice to take
seriously the lives and perspectives of socially marginalized
knowers. The first part of this book takes up the predominant
account of testimonial injustice offered by Miranda Fricker,
arguing that testimonial injustice is not merely about the
epistemic harms perpetrated by dominant knowers against
marginalized knowers, but also about the strategies that
marginalized knowers use to circumvent those harms. Such strategies
expand current conceptions of epistemic injustice by centering how
marginalized knowers engage and resist in hostile epistemic
environments. The second part of the book examines Fricker's
concept of hermeneutical injustice, rooted in hermeneutical
marginalization. Thinking alongside critics of hermeneutical
injustice, Centering Epistemic Injustice explores the relationship
between dominant knowing and marginalized knowing and asks if
social power-including the power to shape collective resources and
ways of meaning-making-makes it impossible for dominant knowers to
know and "hear well" across hermeneutical divides. Finally, the
book asks whether hermeneutical divides are real divides in
understanding and how dominant knowers might come to be better
knowers in the pursuit of a more thoroughgoing epistemic justice.
