*** Awarded First Place in the 2015 AJN Book of the Year Award in
two categories - "History and Public Policy" and "Professional
Issues" *** This anthology presents the philosophical and practice
perspectives of nurse scholars whose works center on promoting
nursing research, practice, and education within frameworks of
social justice and critical theories. Social justice nursing is
defined by the editors as nursing practice that is emancipatory and
rests on the principle of praxis which is practice aimed at
attaining social justice goals and outcomes that improve health
experiences and conditions of individuals, their communities, and
society. There is a lack in the nursing discipline of resources
that contain praxis approaches and there is a need for new
concepts, models, and theories that could encompass scholarship and
practice aimed at purposive reformation of nursing, other health
professions, and health care systems. Chapters bridge critical
theoretical frameworks and nursing science in ways that are
understandable and useful for practicing nurses and other health
professionals in clinical settings, in academia, and in research.
In this book, nurses' ideas and knowledge development efforts are
not limited to problems and solutions emerging from the dominant
discourse or traditions. The authors offer innovative ways to work
towards establishing alternative forms of knowledge, capable of
capturing both the roots and complexity of contemporary problems as
distributed across a diversity of people and communities. It fills
a significant gap in the literature and makes an exceptional
contribution as a collection of new writings from some of the
foremost nursing scholars whose works are informed by critical
frameworks.
