Whither Difference, Whither Recognition? Iris Marion Young’s Justice and the Politics of Difference Revisited
Subject to Difference
In this article, I explore Namita Goswami’s Subjects That Matter . Goswami has laid out an extensive excavation of the variety, depth, and breadth of antagonistic encounters between the Western world and subaltern subjects. I am interested in Goswami’s take on the production of the unknowable women of color who are constructed either as good wives, animate objects without wills of their own, or transgressors of the genre of producing women of col…
Violence, Democracy, and Selective Recognition
The January 2021 attacks on the US Capitol prompt a renewed look at the relationship between violence and Western liberal democracies. The attacks were viewed in a race-neutral frame of staging an insurrection against a procedurally elected government of a liberal democracy. Without considering the racial-political context, we are susceptible to recognizing only certain iterations of political violence while missing others altogether. In what fol…
Unruly Women
Drawing upon Michel Foucault's accounts of governmentality and neoliberalism, liberal feminist and colonial "civilizing" narratives, and tacit juridical racial dismissal toward visibly Muslim women, this book explores the neocolonial and racial-cultural aesthetics of power as directed toward women of color and Black women. Rather it does so through a range of biopolitical, ontopolitical, and globalizing neoliberal economic norms. Focusing on the …
The Racialization of Muslims in the Post-9/11 United States
Muslims in the post-9/11 United States have become racialized through a series of laws and public policies ostensibly designed to protect the American public. These occurrences support a functional account of race: laws and public policies are used to render certain populations vulnerable, possibly criminalizing them, rendering them without the protection of legal or political protection, and creating a hostile environment in which those populati…
Bodies in Politics
Interstitiality
In this essay, I consider how to conceptualize “diasporic” subjects, namely those whose identities and homes cannot be easily attributed, with regard to the political and racial dynamics of intra‐group tensions, alliances, and divergences of interest. These concerns are important relatives to topics that Critical Race Theorists and Critical Race Feminists have readily addressed, such as the war on terror, the not‐so‐gradual erosion of dignity and…
The War on Terror and Ontopolitics
In this article, I explore several of Foucault’s claims in relation to race, biopolitics, and power in order to illuminate some concerns in the wake of the post-9.11.01 political regime of population management. First, what is the relationship between sovereignty and power? Foucault’s writings on the relation between sovereignty and power seem to differ across his writings, such that it is not clear whether he had definitively circumscribed the r…
Toward a Political Philosophy of Race
Toward a political philosophy of race
Timely, controversial, and incisive, Toward a Political Philosophy of Race looks uncompromisingly at how a liberal society enables racism and other forms of discrimination. Drawing on the examples of the internment of U.S. citizens and residents of Japanese descent, of Muslim men and women in the contemporary United States, and of Asian Indians at the turn of the twentieth century, Falguni A. Sheth argues that racial discrimination and divisions …
“Race by Any Other Name is Still…”
Unruly Muslim Women and Threats to Liberal Culture
In the five years since September 11, 2001, Muslim men have been subjected to remarkably cruel treatment in the name of stopping terrorist activity, whereas Muslim women have been considered victim

The Economics and Ethics of Minimum Wage Legislation
Recent empirical studies have led the economics profession to question the proposition that minimum wage legislation necessarily leads to greater unemployment. This paper extends the analysis of these studies by providing several theoretical reasons why these empirical results may reflect a larger truth. Moreover, it addresses a relatively neglected aspect of the minimum wage debate - its ethical dimensions. Specifically, do the elementary princi…
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Gilman was a committed feminist and social economist who intended to change society by insisting on an ethical, rational, indeed, “natural” order that acknowledges and encourages mothering as its basis, regardless of sex. For this reason, a consistent interpretation of Women and Economicsmust incorporate an analysis of the relationship between the position of women and the larger community. Specifically, Gilman believed that society had the poten…
