Nancy Fraser and Politics

Nancy Fraser and Politics is a systematic reconstruction of the work of Nancy Fraser, a key contemporary figure of critical theory and socialist feminism. It argues that Fraser''s critical theory is a powerful and sophisticated analytical prism for diagnosing the breadth of empirical variety and depth of structural causality of injustice and domination in the ‘actually existing’ capitalist democracies of today, and for informing and inspiring numerous political movements struggling for societal emancipation.

Ivković and Zarić demonstrate that a key aspect of Fraser’s critical theory, her structural approach to domination which traces the manifold empirical injustices to a common root cause, is a thread that runs through her entire opus.
