Liberalism and Human Suffering: Materialist Reflections on Politics, Ethics, and Aesthetics

By Asma Abbas

Book Overview

A materialist critique of the politics, poetics and economics of suffering in liberalism that argues for attention to the labour of suffering of the victim in many well-meaning but flawed politics of redress, and imagines forms of representation, solidarity and justice that better honour the history and materiality of this labour.
