Reviews

'This groundbreaking collection offers in my view a rich and very diversified theoretical account of the phenomena associated with the concept of misrecognition. Scholars from various disciplines, including philosophy, political theory, sociology, psychoanalysis, history, moral economy and criminology take an in-depth look at this notion and offer new insights that confirm the fruitfulness of a program of research which was initiated some twenty years ago by Axel Honneth, Charles Taylor and Nancy Fraser. The book moves a step forward, further away from the abstract, idealized and simplified theories of justice, to embrace a whole range of issues that relate to the experience of injustice. It is a very original collection of essays that will have a lasting effect on future research dealing with the concept of recognition.' Michel Seymour, Universite de Montreal, Canada 'This edited volume offers a timely intervention since it is the first that explicitly shifts the theoretical focus from recognition to misrecognition as a distinctive and fruitful concept for critical theory. Some individual contributions demonstrate how a focus on misrecognition can generate new insights into a range of social phenomena including crime, disability and the unequal division of labour.' Shane O'Neill, Queen's University Belfast, UK
