Contents:
Who's behind the 'Others'? -- For equality: affirmative action over parity -- Republican humanitariansim against queer movements -- A war without end -- Guantánamo and the destruction of the law -- A war for Afghan women? -- Against an exclusionary law -- Race, caste and gender in France -- A movement: what movement? -- Anti-sexism or anti racism? a false dilemma.
Summary: Separate and Dominate is Delphy's manifesto, lambasting liberal hypocrisy and calling for a fluid understanding of political identity that does not place different political struggles in a false opposition. She dismantles the absurd claim that Afghanistan was invaded to save women, and that homosexuals and immigrants alike should reserve their self-expression for private settings. She calls for a true universalism that sacrifices no one at the expense of others. In the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, her arguments appear more prescient and pressing than ever.--Provided by publisher
