Differences That Matter

More about the book

Challenging conventional views on feminism and postmodernism, Sara Ahmed argues that feminism should critically engage with postmodernism rather than be defined by it. She emphasizes the importance of feminist theorists "speaking back" to postmodern ideas, particularly in relation to rights, ethics, and identity. Through detailed analyses, Ahmed refuses to accept postmodernism as a universal framework, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of its implications on feminist discourse.
