Opis

This volume examines a range of injustices emerging from and shaped by histories and contexts of patriarchy, racism, colonialism, capitalism, and so on. These injustices are shown to arise from assumed foundations, structures, and knowledge in mainstream justice theory and to affect the lives and well-being of people at local, national, and global levels. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Ethics and Social Welfare journal.
