We are living in a world where power abuse has become the new norm,
as well as the biggest, silent driver of persistent inequalities,
racism and human rights violations. The COVID-19 socio-economic
consequences can only be compared with those that followed World
War II. As humanity is getting to grips with them, this timely book
challenges current thinking, while creating a much needed normative
and practical framework for revealing and challenging the power
structures that feed our subconscious feelings of despair and
defeatism. Structured around the four concepts of power, race,
justice and restorative justice, the book uses empirical new data
and normative analysis to reconstruct the way we prevent power
abuse and harm at the inter-personal, inter-community and
international levels. This book offers new lenses, which allow us
to view power, race and justice in a modern reality where
communities have been silenced, but through restorative justice are
gaining voice. The book is enriched with case studies written by
survivors, practitioners and those with direct experiences of power
abuse and inequality. Through robust research methodologies,
Gavrielides's new monograph reveals new forms of slavery, while
creating a new, philosophical framework for restorative punishment
through the acknowledgement of pain and the use of catharsis for
internal transformation and individual empowerment. This is a
powerful and timely book that generates much needed hope. Through a
multi-disciplinary dialogue that uses philosophy and critical
theory, social sciences, criminology, law, psychology and human
rights, the book opens new avenues for practitioners, researchers
and policy makers internationally.
