The Politics of Difference (Iris Marion Young)

The Politics of Difference by Iris Marion Young emphasizes that social justice isn’t just about treating everyone the same, but recognizing and respecting diverse identities and experiences. She argues that marginalized groups—based on race, gender, or class—need representation and specific attention to address inequalities. Instead of trying to create a single, uniform society, she advocates for policies that acknowledge differences and empower diverse voices, fostering a more inclusive and fair democracy where everyone's unique background is valued and contributes to social decision-making.
