Carol Gould’s ‘Diversity and Democracy: Representing Differences’ (1996) is a very
stimulating treatment of the subject, and particularly valuable for its critique of the German
philosopher, Habermas. M. Barrett ‘The Concept of “Difference” ’ (1987) is a very useful
survey of feminist treatments of this question. Abrams’s A Glossary of Literary Terms (1999)
is a useful book to consult for those who find reading Derrida in the original too daunting.
Hughes’s Key Concepts in Feminist Theory and Research (2002) that has been discussed,
has a very valuable chapter on the question of difference. Paul du Gay has (along with several
others) edited Identity: A Reader(London: Sage, 2000) that contains valuable excerpts.Weblinks
