Justice as Equality makes a unique contribution to the
philosophical and intellectual tradition of the English-speaking
Caribbean by exploring the theory of justice underpinning the life,
work, and writings of former Prime Minister of Jamaica and renowned
Third World Statesman the late Michael Manley (1924-1997). Manley's
singular Caribbean vision of justice was forged in a post-colonial
context that he described as being too radically disfigured by
inequalities to be improved by "mere tinkering". This book posits
that equality has become unfashionable in social analysis and
contemporary politics, in part due to the increased significance of
values such as identity, diversity, and difference, in tandem with
a misunderstanding of the concept of equality. It argues for a
reclaiming of a multi-faceted and complex way of understanding
equality in light of Manley's thought. Through an engagement with
the norms of justice developed within the Catholic social teaching
tradition, this book examines, clarifies, and deepens Manley's
Caribbean account of "justice as equality". Manley's theory is a
deeply relational theory one of justice and equality that roots
fundamental human equality in the relationship to divine
transcendence. It calls for the dismantling of all relationships of
oppression and domination that result when the fundamental equality
of all human beings is disregarded. It takes account of the
multiple dimensions of the human person, and calls a society 'just'
when it allows for the flourishing of every member, specifically
through full participation in the life of the society.
