La grande réconciliation…
Unger & Nedelsky : Interdependence & contextualisation
Williams & Nedelsky : Affirmation des droits comme source de justice
![Page 29: The Cultural Turn](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56815f05550346895dcdc4cc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What does Williams’ story about renting and apartment in New York tell us about image and relationships? How does this shed light on her critique of CLS? What can Nedelsky’s argument bring to this picture?
Are rights in the U.S. and rights in Canada fundamentally different as Nedelsky suggests, or does the difference lie in how we conceive of them? What does culture have to do with the way we conceive of rights?
Williams writes that " These differences in experience between blacks and whites [...] are differences firmly rooted in race, and in the unconsciousness of racism. It is only in acknowledging this difference, however, that one can fully appreciate the underlying common ground of the radical left and the historically oppressed: the desire to heal a profound existential disillusionment."
Do you agree? Has there generally been a disconnect between the radical left's quest for social reform and the plight of the historically disempowered?
