Rezensionen

"In this rich collection of new papers, each contribution brings the resources of recognition theory into a fruitful conversation with those of epistemic injustice. Together they deliver a rewarding set of discussions that multiplies our tools for understanding the various phenomena in both theoretical domains. In particular, the idea of misrecognition is especially helpful in focusing attention on the phenomenology of epistemic injustice, bringing a distinctive psychological interpretation to our ways of thinking about its intrinsic wrong. I fully expect this collection to inspire many more such illuminating conceptual collaborations."

"Giladi and McMillan's volume offers provocative explorations of the relationship between recognition theory and epistemic injustice, enriching and complicating both bodies of literature and opening new venues for research in critical social epistemology. Part I of the book contains powerful elucidations of epistemic and moral forms of recognition, of social esteem and disrespect, of recognition pathologies and ideological misrecognition, and of cultural and institutional forms of epistemic violence. Building on these compelling theoretical discussions, part II of the book develops case studies of contemporary social struggles in which epistemic mistreatment resulting from recognition deficits or distortions take center stage in different areas of public life, including the law, social policy, and medicine. All the chapters in the book contribute to shed light on the complex and multifaceted role of recognition in unjust epistemic practices and dynamics that differentially empower and disempower social groups through prejudicial patterns of knowledge/ignorance, understanding/misunderstanding, and perception/misperception. This superb collection of essays is a must-read for anyone interested in normative issues concerning how oppressed and vulnerable groups are misrecognized and mistreated in public life, and how different forms of misrecognition and epistemic mistreatment can be diagnosed and resisted."
