Description
Solidarity in politics has been a driving force behind many movements throughout history. However, academic writing on the subject has largely focused on empirical examples rather than conceptual analysis. Sally Scholz addresses this gap by developing a theory of political solidarity, exploring its meaning and distinguishing it from related concepts such as camaraderie or community. She examines the moral relations underlying political solidarity, including the nature of the solidary group, obligations within solidarity, and the goals of solidarity movements. This book provides a detailed analysis of the moral relation of political solidarity, shedding light on its potential for bringing about social change through collective action against injustice and oppression.
