"A historically-informed examination of the concept of freedom which recognises freedom as a fundamental social value that arose out of fights against slavery and oppression. This book will appeal to social and political philosophers and critical theorists interested in important political ideas and how they arise from historical contexts"--

This book offers a model of individual autonomy which takes into account the socially constructed nature of persons and their complex cultural and social identities, and provides a foundation for principles of justice for complex democracies marked by radical difference among citizens.
