Overview

What does it mean to understand the world on your own terms? What does it mean to question the hierarchies that shape our lives-our workplaces, our classrooms, our politics, even the stories we tell ourselves? And what does liberation look like when we begin with the truths we have lived, rather than the ideologies we inherit? In Autonomy in the First Person, Mason Carter offers a bold and deeply personal collection of essays that challenge the taken-for-granted structures of modern life. Blending philosophy, political analysis, memory, and lived experience, Carter examines how domination hides in plain sight-in economic systems, in educational institutions, in gendered expectations, and in the subtle ways we are taught to obey without ever noticing the conditioning.
