Description: What does it mean to think critically about politics at a time when inequality is increasing worldwide, when struggles for the recognition of difference are eclipsing struggles for social equality, and when we lack any credible vision of an alternative to the present order? Philosopher Nancy Fraser claims that the key is to overcome the false oppositions of "postsocialist" commonsense.

Refuting the view that we must choose between "the politics of recognition" and "the politics of redistribution," Fraser argues for an integrative approach that encompasses the best aspects of both.
