Justice Unbound

Zusatztext

<p><span>This important anthology provides students and teachers with voices of social and global justice that have been marginalized or forgotten by history. It gives thought-leaders, from the Global South a platform and engages the voices of oppressed communities, including Charles Mills and Franz Fanon and Ella Baker.</span><span><br><br>This text is a comprehensive analysis of modern and contemporary theories of justice. Since the publication in 1971 of John Rawlss</span><span>A Theory of Justice</span><span>, there has been much debate on his views from both the right and the left of the political spectrum. But there is a lack of textbooks that provide not only a compilation of substantial selections on challenges to Rawlss theory from feminist and postcolonial scholars but that also include writings by non-white and non-Western authors on different aspects of justice. This book fills this huge gap and brings together many influential writings on the topic of justice that are often omitted in philosophy and political theory collections. This work addresses complex issues in an increasingly diverse society.</span></p><p><span><br><br><br></span></p>
