Abstract

All of Nancy Fraser’s work can be seen as a response to the crisis of the Left, which emerged in the 1960s and climaxed after 1989. In this article, Zaretsky situates Fraser’s work in relation to the Left, and to the evolution of critical theory, by combining his expertise as historian of the Left with his privileged observatory position as Nancy Fraser’s partner.
