Recenzje

'...someone may not know where to begin since the discussion on epistemic injustice has grown so fast since Miranda Fricker's book burst onto the scene. But now, with the publication of the excellent, well-written, and beautifully compiled Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice, there is a book that discusses the principal themes of epistemic injustice, highlights numerous connections to other academic literatures and contemporary debates, and opens the door to potential areas of further study that will make projects-such as identifying and resisting immigration injustices in US policy-much easier.' - Allison B. Wolf, Hypatia

'... [A] comprehensive anthology on the current theories of epistemic injustice with important implications for future research. The diverse methods and topics of this text make it an excellent introduction for graduate seminars, as well as a common resource for researchers in the field. It includes contributions from most authors active in the field, with enough diversity in contributors to represent the substantive and methodological differences among them. ... The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice provides a great deal of content and opportunities in a single volume.' - Amiel Bernal, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective

'This could not be a more timely and consequential book. The editors assemble an impressive cross-section of contributors actively engaged in debates about the nature of epistemic violence, injustice, and responsibility. Best of all, they turn their gaze back on philosophy itself, and they turn it outward, asking what strategies of resistance, disruption, prevention and repair make sense, given their diagnoses of the problem. This is philosophy that 'lets the world in'.' - Alison Wylie, University of Washington - Seattle, USA, and Durham University, UK

'The chapters collected here are authored by an all-star cast. They ably explore the many implications of epistemic injustice across philosophical sub-fields and through timely case studies. This Handbook takes the next step in broadening and deepening our understanding of this distinctive form of harm.' - Michael Brownstein, John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY), USA

'This is a timely and well-constructed volume on the state of discussions around epistemic injustice. The interdisciplinary nature of the chapters and the comprehensiveness of the coverage makes it a 'must-read' for anyone interested in investigations into epistemic injustice today. I, for one, sincerely thank the editors for their service in bringing together diverse authors and an expansive range of topics for this grand and successful book.' - Kristie Dotson, Michigan State University, USA
