The Dynamics of Epistemic Injustice
Serene JKhader offers a thorough, insightful, and well-constructed account of APs that offers a fresh perspective on this debate. ... Khaders book is very insightful, with clear definitions, and convincing argumentation. She advances greatly the philosophical conversation by offering a more nuanced version of APs and re-situating them in terms of flourishing rather than autonomy. Furthermore, her practical recommendations are especially promising for development practitioners. * Social Theory and Practice *
Filling an important gap in the literature, Serene J. Khader's first book deftly tackles a topic of growing importance as questions of individual human rights, agency and empowerment increasingly run up against questions of multiculturalism in development policy and pluralism in ethics ... this work makes an exhaustive analysis of a difficult and important problem, offering both practical and philosophical guidance for thinking about adaptive preferences. It is an important contribution to studies in which questions of multiculturalism and moral relativism complicate the search for answers. Khader's book also contributes to this discussion by reclaiming the dignity, empowerment, and sense of self-worth of individual women who exhibit inappropriately adaptive preferences, an important move in a discourse that ultimately seeks improvement of the human condition. * Stacy J. Kosko, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities *
