This special collection aims to offer insight into the state of
geography on questions of social justice and urban life. While
using social justice and the city as our starting point may signal
inspiration from Harvey's (1973) book of the same name, the task of
examining the emergence of this concept has revealed the deep
influence of grassroots urban uprisings of the late 1960s, earlier
and contemporary meditations on our urban worlds (Jacobs, 1961,
1969; Lefebvre, 1974; Massey and Catalano, 1978) as well as its
enduring significance built upon by many others for years to come.
Laws (1994) noted how geographers came to locate social justice
struggles in the city through research that examined the ways in
which material conditions contributed to poverty and racial and
gender inequity, as well as how emergent social movements organized
to reshape urban spaces across diverse engagements including the
U.S. Civil Rights Movement, anti-war protests, feminist and LGBTQ
activism, the American Indian Movement, and disability access. This
book originally published as a special issue of Annals of the
American Association of Geographers.
