REPARATIONS AND SYMBIOSIS: RECLAIMING THE REMEDIAL FOCUS |
71 UMKC Law Review 419 (Winter 2002) |
The metaphors that a society uses to describe injustice matter to the extent that they inform remedial responses to the unjust, motivate political resistance, and construct identity narratives for actors caught up in the web of social relations. Racism is a powerful metaphor of injustice that crosses multiple social boundaries. Sexism is another... |
