Many liberal theorists consider identity claims a necessary condition of equality, but do these claims do more harm than good?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo answer this question, Caroline Dick engages in a critical analysis of liberal identity-driven theories and their application in cases such as \u003cem\u003eSawridge Band v. Canada,\u003c\/em\u003e which sets a First Nation's right to self-determination against indigenous women's right to equality. She contrasts Charles Taylor's theory of identity recognition, Will Kymlicka's cultural theory of minority rights, and Avigail Eisenberg's theory of identity-related interests with an alternative rights framework that account for both group and in-group differences. Dick concludes that the problem is not the concept of identity itself but the way in which prevailing conceptions of identity and group rights obscure intragroup differences. Instead, she proposes a politics of intragroup difference that has the power to transform rights discourse in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Gender Discrimination within First Nations: The History and Nature of the \u003cem\u003eSawridge\u003c\/em\u003e Dispute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Group Rights and the Politics of Identity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Taylor's Theory of Identity Recognition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Kymlicka's Cultural Theory of Minority Rights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Eisenberg's Theory of Identity-Related Interests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Culture, Identity, and the Constitutional Rights of Aboriginal Peoples\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The Politics of Intragroup Difference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 \u003cem\u003eSawridge\u003c\/em\u003e Revisited\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670764613912,"sku":"9780774820639","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-perils-of-identity-group-rights-and-the-politics-of-intragroup-difference-paperback-softback-9780774820639","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
