Document Summary
Fraser: recognition movements under nationality, ethnicity, gender, cultural recognition displaces socioeconomic redistribution as the remedy for injustice. Instead of endorsing or rejecting all of identity politics we should see ourselves developing a critical theory of recognition. One which identifies and defends only those versions of the cultural politics of difference that can be combined with social politics of equality. Important for recognition and social equality to support each other. Rooted in political-economic structure exploitation, economic marginalization, deprivation. Rooted in social patterns of representation, interpretation, and communication. Non-recognition is bad because it impairs these people in their positive understanding of self. Both kinds of injustice reinforce one another institutionalized in the state and economy. Remedy for economic injustice is political-economic restructuring of some sort. Redistributing income, organize division of labor, transforming economic structures. Transformation of societal patterns of representation, interpretation, communication. Redistributive remedies generally have some concept of recognition.
