Críticas
"In a work that evidences both powerful analytic skills and a compassionate regard for the problems devalued persons confront in their daily lives, Minow makes it incontrovertibly clear that the legal issues she explores are social and moral issues as well. Her book is a masterful example of the demythologizing of law; it should be of great interest not only to sociologists who study the legal system, but also to all those whose work focuses on stigmatizing processes and stigmatized populations." -- Edwin M. Schur * Contemporary Sociology * "Minow's thesis challenges the very basis of legal reasoning. Categorical thinking, she admits, may even be a psychological imperative to simplify a complex world. But she argues persuasively the a society that takes the problem of inequality seriously must abandon trying to fit people into categories and instead make decisions based on the complexity of our social problems." -- Debbie Ratterman * Off Our Backs * "Minow wants to change our understanding of difference, to dislodge the oppressive meaning of difference as deviance from the norm and challenge the unstated reference point by which difference is defined. Much of Minow's book is devoted to tracing the intellectual origins of the social relations approach. Her wide-ranging summary of intellectual trends, from deconstruction to interpretative anthropology to pragmatism in philosophy, invest the social relations approach with a rich history." -- Martha Chamallas * Signs *
Reseña del editor
Should a court order medical treatment for a severely disabled newborn in the face of the parents' refusal to authorize it? How does the law apply to a neighborhood that objects to a group home for developmentally disabled people? Does equality mean treating everyone the same, even if such treatment affects some people adversely? Does a state requirement of employee maternity leave serve or violate the commitment to gender equality?Martha Minow takes a hard look at the way our legal system functions in dealing with people on the basis of race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, and disability. Minow confronts a variety of dilemmas of difference resulting from contradictory legal strategies-strategies that attempt to correct inequalities by sometimes recognizing and sometimes ignoring differences. Exploring the historical sources of ideas about difference, she offers challenging alternative ways of conceiving of traits that legal and social institutions have come to regard as "different." She argues, in effect, for a constructed jurisprudence based on the ability to recognize and work with perceptible forms of difference.Minow is passionately interested in the people-"different" people-whose lives are regularly (mis)shaped and (mis)directed by the legal system's ways of handling them. Drawing on literary and feminist theories and the insights of anthropology and social history, she identifies the unstated assumptions that tend to regenerate discrimination through the very reforms that are supposed to eliminate it. Education for handicapped children, conflicts between job and family responsibilities, bilingual education, Native American land claims-these are among the concrete problems she discusses from a fresh angle of vision.Minow firmly rejects the prevailing conception of the self that she believes underlies legal doctrine-a self seen as either separate and autonomous, or else disabled and incompetent in some way. In contrast, she regards the self as being realized through connection, capable of shaping an identity only in relationship to other people. She shifts the focus for problem solving from the "different" person to the relationships that construct that difference, and she proposes an analysis that can turn "difference" from a basis of stigma and a rationale for unequal treatment into a point of human connection. "The meanings of many differences can change when people locate and revise their relationships to difference," she asserts. "The student in a wheelchair becomes less different when the building designed without him in mind is altered to permit his access." Her book evaluates contemporary legal theories and reformulates legal rights for women, children, persons with disabilities, and others historically identified as different.Here is a powerful voice for change, speaking to issues that permeate our daily lives and form a central part of the work of law. By illuminating the many ways in which people differ from one another, this book shows how lawyers, political theorist, teachers, parents, students-every one of us-can make all the difference,
