Description

Reconciles women's rights with multiculturalism - a central problem in contemporary political theory

Monica Mookerjee reconfigures feminism in a way that responds to cultural diversity, by drawing on Iris Young's idea of 'gender as seriality'. she argues that a discourse of rights can be formulated and that this task is crucial to negotiating a balance between women's interests and multicultural justice.

Works through a set of dilemmas in modern liberal democracies:

  • The resurgence of the feminist controversy over the Hindu practice of widow-immolation (sati)
  • Gender-discriminatory Muslim divorce laws in the famous Shah Bano controversy in India
  • Forced marriage in South Asian communities in the UK
  • The rights of evangelical Christian parents to exempt their children from secular education
  • The recent controversy about the rights of Muslim girls to wear the hijab in state schools in France
