Description
Solidarity in Conflict: A Democratic Theory by Rochelle DuFord presents a provocative theory of solidarity as a set of relations that can revive democratic life. DuFord argues that solidarity is best understood as agonistic and antagonistic, encompassing internal organization and interactions with the broader world. By examining conflicts within social relations and solidarity organizations, she critiques traditional democratic theorizing for its focus on stability over conflict. This book makes a case that the conflict generated by solidarity organizations can address forms of domination, oppression, and exploitation while building a democratic society.
