Recognition and Difference, a timely and insightful book, examines questions of politics and identity in the age of multicultures. Drawing together the contributions of leading international academics including: Nancy Fraser; Sylvia Walby; Axel Honneth; Paul Gilroy; John O'Neill; Abram De Swann; Zygmunt Bauman; Jan Nederveen Pieters; This collection explores how difference and multiculturalism take on the arguments of universalistic humanism. The approach taken derives from the traditions of cultural sociology and cultural studies rather than political science and philosophy.
