Recenzii
Being at Home is an ambitious and brilliant rethinking of the notion of autonomy from a relational and intersectional perspective, bringing together liberalism and critical philosophy of race and gender in original ways. Bhandary's intersectional liberalism opens a new chapter in liberal political philosophy with a powerful normative framework grounded in experience and highly relevant for today's social realities. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the challenges of fighting for freedom and autonomy in an unjust world.
This is a brilliant book! Asha Bhandary demonstrates why a robust defense of the liberal value of personal autonomy requires a full-throated commitment to 'being at home,' and offers us a novel concept, intersectional liberalism, to make sense of it. For such a reality to be possible for women of color and others who are marginalized, Bhandary explores how people in society's mainstream (who often engage in microaggressions) and those who live counter-factually (and who often suffer allostatic overloads) all need to adjust their ways of being. Weaving real life experience with philosophical reflection, Bhandary offers profound insights throughout this book.
An artful synthesis of memoir, philosophy, law, and literature, this is a beautifully written meditation on home-making in an unjust world, and the practices of buoyancy and community that enable those who live 'counterfactually' to nevertheless be 'at home.'
In her unique defense of what she calls "intersectional liberalism" Bhandary explores what it would mean to resist expectations of deference to power in order to live meaningfully and autonomously. Outsider status is variable and complex, but Bhandary's reflections on her own experiences as an Asian-American in the Midwest-what she calls 'the view from here'-poignantly grounds readers and maps out a path to belonging, even in hostile terrain.
