Society, Space, and Social Justice addresses the social axes of
class, disability, gender, race, and “others,” and their
intersections with sociocultural and political-economic structures
in a variety of geographic scales and settings spanning the globe:
Brazil, India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Uganda and the United
States. Collectively, the chapters in this book present social
injustice in changing and complex world contexts, each context
underpinned by theoretical frameworks that facilitate a greater
understanding. Methodologically diverse, the books’ chapters
employ both quantitative and qualitative techniques to uncover
these forms of (in)justice and the underlying processes that
contribute to their genesis and regeneration. Environment and
outdoors, employment and labor, health and disease, housing,
infrastructure and urban design: the studies in this book span
across such varied interests and themes, all woven around and
grounded by concepts of place and place so as to transcend
disciplinary boundaries and hold relevance for geography as well as
related fields. A timely collection in an era where “old isms”
find deeper entrenchments or new manifestations, this book provides
examples of both social injustices and approaches to social
justice, examined through case studies that provide an in-depth
understanding of the mechanisms by which social justice might be
perverted, thwarted or achieved.
