For decades, feminist, anti-racist, LGBT+ and disability rights groups, among others, have been actively collaborating to defend their rights. But how can diverse minority groups effectively coordinate their efforts, given their unique characteristics, challenges, and goals? How can we implicate the majority?

But how can diverse minority groups effectively coordinate their efforts, given their unique characteristics, challenges, and goals? How can we implicate the majority? In this book, Bruno Perreau advocates a novel approach to justice, which reflects and resonates with the experiences of minorities.
 
Just what is a minority? A group with fewer members than a majority group? An identity subjugated by the dominant culture or group in society? A group that receives legal protection? A community that shares certain cultural traits? For Bruno Perreau, being a minority means being viewed as an interchangeable representative of a broader category.
"Sphères d’injustice" examines the contemporary challenges confronting the concept of minority in France and the United States (managerial drifts, algorithm dominance, reactionary attacks, and inter-minority competition). It pleads that learning and understanding should guide our approach to addressing minority injustices, rather than moral principles or empathy.
Updating his classic work "Spheres of Justice", philosopher Michael Walzer’s "Spheres of Injustice" demonstrates how minority universalism effectively addresses the challenges of digital and ecological interdependence in the 21st century.
