An excellent set of chapters that bring to the fore new perspectives on the persistence of social injustices and inequalities facing a contemporary world in crisis. The book is theoretically and empirically rigorous, and integrates compelling and thought-provoking scenarios from various parts of the world.

This very impressive collection, edited by Margaret Abraham, reinvigorates the criticality of the social in sociology via its exploration of the global, contextualised, terrain of social justice. Through the scholarship of its authors, all internationally leading sociologists, the book reconceptualises social justice as a centre of sociological action, as a disciplinary enterprise of deploying our knowledges and resources towards creating a more just world.

This volume superbly conceptualises and contextualises social justice in and for our global age. The stellar cast of sociologists brought together by Professor Abraham connect concepts to practices and outline the challenges we face as well as providing necessary responses to them. This is public sociology at its most engaged and should be vital reading for all those concerned with the complexity of social problems and forms of inequality that increasingly disfigure our societies.

A collection of brilliant essays authored by an international group of respected scholar-activists, which examine concepts and practices of social justice from diverse contexts. This is a must-read for anyone engaged in public sociology and interested in using their teaching, research and actions toward building a more just society.
