{"product_id":"claiming-value-alena-wolflink-9781032302782","title":"Claiming Value: The Politics of Priority from Aristotle to Black Lives Matter","description":"\u003cp\u003eValue is typically theorized from the frameworks of economic theory or of moral\/ethical theory, but we need to instead think about value foremost as political. Alena Wolflink uncovers a tension in value discourses between material and aspirational life. As she shows, erasing this tension, as has been the historical tendency, can entrench existing configurations of power and privilege, while acknowledging the tension is a vital part of democratic practice. Using genealogical, conceptual-historical, and interpretive approaches, and drawing from such diverse sources as Aristotle, Anna Julia Cooper, Michael Warner, Alicia Garza, and Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Wolflink argues that abstractions of value discourse in both economic theory and moral philosophy have been complicit in devaluing the lives of women, queer people, and people of color. Yet she further argues that value claims nonetheless hold democratic potential as a means of asserting and defining priorities that center the role of political economy in the making of political communities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith many real-world examples vividly portrayed, \u003ci\u003eClaiming Value\u003c\/i\u003e is an unusually accessible work of political theory accessible to students in courses on political theory, moral philosophy, social theory, economic theory, democracy, social inequality, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alena Wolflink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103230278X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032302782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023","brand":"Alena Wolflink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123374354687,"sku":"9781032302782","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ec94225-d92e-4c87-82fa-93d0231d7389.jpg?v=1687430524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claiming-value-alena-wolflink-9781032302782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
