Abstract

Refuting argument to choose between the of and politics of redistribution, Justice Interruptus integrates best aspects of both. ********************************************************* ** What does it mean to think critically about at a time when inequality is increasing worldwide, when struggles for recognition of difference are eclipsing struggles for social equality, and when we lack any credible vision of an alternative to present order? Philosopher Nancy Fraser claims that key is to overcome false oppositions of postsocialist commonsense. Refuting view that we must choose between the of and politics of redistribution, Fraser argues for an integrative approach that encompasses best aspects of both.
