Sally J. Scholz is Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University.
“The very idea of a theory of solidarity that is akin to a theory
of justice is a revelation. Sally Scholz does a marvelous job of
presenting hers in this thorough and illuminating work.”—Chris
Cuomo, University of Georgia
“Scholz offers a new, vigorous theory of the concept of ‘political
solidarity’ by pursuing a different course than that of typical
empirical studies of the nature of solidarity within the usual
panoply of social movements. Of benefit primarily to graduate
students and researchers, Scholz’s monograph provides a rich
storehouse of thinking about ethical facets of political
solidarity.”—J. R. Pottenger Choice
“Lucidly written, theoretically interesting, and closely in touch
with the real world, this book should be read by anyone interested
in feminism, social ontology, political philosophy, or progressive
politics.”—Shelley Wilcox Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
“Scholz’s book is perhaps the best I have read in dispensing with
the vexing problem that has shadowed liberation movements: whether
only the victims know best. Yes, Scholz writes, those who have been
oppressed have vital knowledge, but others can bring other
perspectives and points of view that can connect one movement with
other ones.”—Noe¨ lle McAfee Signs
