Solidarity of Strangers

Engaging with a diverse range of scholars, Jodi Dean advocates for a conscious, deliberative solidarity to address the challenges of identity politics and multiculturalism. She critiques the poststructuralist/Habermasian divide, proposing a discourse ethics that honors both universalism and difference. By intertwining personal narratives with high theory, Dean reexamines universalist ideals in a way that respects plurality. Her work invites readers to explore the relationship between epistemology and political commitment, fostering important debates on democratic practices and feminism.
