Iris Marion Young

This groundbreaking book, "Reconceiving Political Theory: A Pluralist Framework for the Democratic Public", challenges the traditional philosophical reduction of social justice to distributive justice.

Iris Young's innovative approach emphasizes the importance of group representation in democratic publics and group-differentiated policies, providing a more inclusive and emancipatory understanding of social justice.

With remarkable precision and clarity, Young constructs a "pluralized" account of oppression, offering a vision of the good society based on the differentiated, culturally plural network of contemporary urban life.

This influential work has won the 1991 Victoria Schuck Award, American Political Science Association, and is sure to inspire and inform scholars and activists alike in their pursuit of social justice.
