Monique Deveaux is Associate Professor of Political Science at
Williams College, where she teaches courses in contemporary
political theory and the history of political thought. She is the
author of Cultural Pluralism and Dilemmas of Justice (Cornell
University Press, 2000), a co-editor of Sexual/Cultural Justice:
Critical Perspectives in Political Theory and Practice
(forthcoming, Routledge), and author of articles on topics ranging
from cultural toleration to
feminist moral theory in such journals as Political Theory, Social
and Theory and Practice, and Political Studies. Deveaux is a
recipient of a residential fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute
for
Advanced Study at Harvard (2001-2) and a National Endowment for the
Humanities Summer Stipend (2001). She holds a Ph.D. from University
of Cambridge.
Deveaux's book is a breath of fresh air-it combines a theory-based
approach with high-quality empirical research from several
locations around the world. The book is at its best when describing
issues of gender justice in diverse areas-Canada, South Africa, and
Great Britain...and is likely to provoke debate about its
theoretical implications while providing useful case studies.
