"Being at Home: Living Autonomously in an Unjust World reimagines liberal philosophy through the lens of intersectionality, showing how race, gender, and caregiving relationships must reshape our understanding of autonomy."
"The book makes a unique contribution as the first care-responsive theory of liberalism to address intersectionality and racism, reorienting debates about autonomy in liberalism, multiculturalism, and feminist care theory."
"Being at home requires access to core rights and liberties and to one's valued relationships without fear of disruption, characterizing the combined political, social, and cultural standing of some people in a society."
Asha Bhandary's work in intersectional liberalism focuses on personal autonomy alongside the human needs for care and belonging. Her book, Being at Home, reimagines liberal philosophy by integrating intersectionality, particularly through the experiences of biracial women of color. It argues that understanding autonomy requires acknowledging the values of belonging and care. The concept of being at home is central, emphasizing the importance of core rights, liberties, and valued relationships in achieving a socio-political good necessary for women of color to live autonomously.
