The book explores the shift in leftist perspectives on injustice from a focus on economic harms to an emphasis on cultural harms, such as cultural imperialism and misrecognition. It addresses the challenges of reconciling the pursuit of multiculturalism with the enduring commitment to economic equality. By examining how to integrate cultural insults into the broader understanding of injustice, the work seeks to expand the discourse on social justice in a post-Communist context.

The book explores critical political thought in the context of rising global inequality and the tension between recognition and redistribution. Philosopher Nancy Fraser challenges the prevailing 'postsocialist' mindset that forces a choice between these two political frameworks. She advocates for a synthesis that combines the strengths of both approaches, aiming to develop a more comprehensive understanding of social justice that addresses contemporary challenges and envisions viable alternatives to the current political order.

Fraser (philosophy and literature, Northwestern U.) deals with varied forms of dominance and subordination in modern, industrial, and late- capitalist societies.
