Brief abstract: The paper looks at overlapping critiques of liberal justice deriving from feminist and post-colonial critiques of liberalism. An number of principles can be derived from these over-lapping critiques, and it is suggested that these principles can generate the conditions and characteristics of a gendered, race-aware justice that can be more responsive to the multiple, fragmented identities of the citizens of late modernity.' The paper is based on her most recent book 'Justice in the Risk Society', published by Sage in 2003.
