This volume considers previously separate bodies of research on
social justice, social equality, and social development. Eminent
scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss the latest research
to help us understand the relation between social inequalities and
social development. In so doing, the book documents the powerful
ways that social inequalities frame development and explores the
conflicts that arise in the context of these inequalities. It
illustrates how people around the world make judgments about these
conditions and how they resist or change the practices they deem
unjust. By bringing together these perspectives, the editors hope
to demonstrate how understanding social development carries with it
the possibility of change and social justice. The book considers
processes of social development. It examines Piaget's ideas about
morality and relates them to children's thinking about social
rights. An interdisciplinary review of research from developmental,
social, and health psychology, social policy, anthropology, and
philosophy, follows this introduction. Each contributor examines
the historical, developmental, and social processes that influence
beliefs regarding social justice and equality and the consequences
of living in conditions of injustice. The book considers:
Inequalities in educational and health care opportunities. Unequal
rights and harassment and their effects on minorities. The
hardships and inequalities encountered by women. Intended for
researchers and advanced students in developmental, social,
cultural, and health psychology, policy, anthropology, and
philosophy interested in a world that is socially just.
