Coming to terms

feminism, theory, politics

Edición de la obra Coming to terms

For over a decade, feminist studies have occupied an extraordinary position in the United States. On the one hand, they have contributed to the development of a strong "identity" politics; on the other, they have been part of the post-structuralist critique of the unified subject -- its experience, truth and presence -- and of the massive challenge to Western metaphysics and humanism. Along with race and ethnic studies, feminist enquiry has moved beyond the fiction of a unitary feminism to address the differences within the study of difference. The essays in this volume all address feminismʹs relationships to theory and politics at the level of the criticism and production of knowledge. Readers and students of politics, history, literature, philosophy, sociology and the sciences -- anyone with a stake in theory and politics -- will benefit from this powerful book. -- Back cover.
