"Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing"

"Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing" explores how social power dynamics can unfairly harm individuals' ability to share, validate, or access knowledge. It highlights two main types: testimonial injustice, where someone’s credibility is unjustly discounted due to prejudice, and hermeneutical injustice, where groups lack the language or framework to convey their experiences. This book emphasizes that such injustices can marginalize voices, distort understanding, and perpetuate inequality, urging us to recognize and address these biases to foster fairer, more inclusive ways of knowing and communicating.
