In this moment, they argue, the logic of 'differentiate and rule' thoroughly permeates the social. Our entire 'way of life' is premised on endless subtle hierarchical distinctions, which determine whole populations’ attitudes, feelings and actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow can we learn to value difference when it is too often enlisted in the service of domination? Hark and Villa make a compelling case for the urgent necessity for a detoxification of feminism as a matter of urgency, and for an ethical mode of living-with the world, that is, living with alterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Future of Difference\u003c\/em\u003e by Sabine Hark and Paula-Irene Villa offers critical insights into the pervasive dynamics of power and difference that shape our societies today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000781881580,"sku":"9781788738026","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23909303482824.jpg?v=1763304260","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-future-of-difference-by-sabine-hark-9781788738026","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
