The past several decades have witnessed a surge in critiques of
justice theory by gender, race, disability, post-colonial,
non-Western, and other anti-oppression theorists. These theorists
tend to reject ideal theory and instead engage in 'theorizing' that
takes the details of people's lives to be central to understanding
and alleviating injustices. These theorists reveal injustices
emerging from norms assumed in mainstream justice theory and
uncover them to challenge liberal accounts of moral reasoning and
responsibility rooted in individualist conceptions of the self.
Instead, they defend a relational conception of selves as born into
relationships and shaped by norms, institutions, and structures
that determine needs, opportunities, and life prospects differently
for different people and groups. Attention to real world
circumstances of injustice reveals inequalities in power between
developed and developing countries; former colonizers and those
colonized within and across nations; and the powerful and
marginalized/oppressed where racism, classism, sexism,
heterosexism, and so on still prevail. This volume sets out to
examine a range of injustices emerging from, and shaped by,
histories and contexts of patriarchy, racism, colonialism,
capitalism, and so on. These are the kinds of injustices that
affect the lives and well-being of people at the global, national,
and local levels. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the Ethics and Social Welfare journal.
