Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this book, Frazer and Lacey examine the relationship between political and feminist theory. Liberalism and communitarianism are characterized and criticized from a feminist perspective. The liberal-communitarian debate is located in the broad context of social theory, including debates on modernity and postmodernity, structuralism and deconstruction, and psychoanalysis. Contributions to the debate from a variety of sources, including legal theory, discourse theory and political sociology are assessed. The authors end by pointing the way to a new feminist political theory.
