Since the publication of John Rawls''s \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, contract theory has once again become central to the Western political tradition. But gender justice is neglected and racial justice almost completely ignored.  \u003cp\u003eCarole Pateman and Charles Mills''s earlier books, \u003ci\u003eThe Sexual Contract\u003c\/i\u003e (1988) and \u003ci\u003eThe Racial Contract\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), offered devastating critiques of gender and racial domination and the contemporary contract tradition''s silence on them. Both books have become classics of revisionist radical democratic political theory. Now Pateman and Mills are collaborating for the first time in an interdisciplinary volume, drawing on their insights from political science and philosophy. They are building on but going beyond their earlier work to bring the sexual and racial contracts together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An extraordinarily helpful and enlightening work for both non-contract and contract theorists alike, and for everyone concerned with racial, gender and class inequality.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolitical Studies Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Charles Mills and Carole Pateman are two exemplary philosophers of freedom.
