About the Book

The Local-Global Nexus of Social Justice (2019) examines how social justice is conceived, constructed, understood and implemented at the local and global contexts.  It does so by examining social justice and globalization from a theoretical and substantive perspective.

It takes the perspective that social justice is a multifaceted, dialectical, intersectional, and cross-cultural phenomenon with both local and global interfaces and implications.

The book is based on four premises: (1) Global Social Justice (GSJ) recognizes the commonality of the human condition; (2) GSJ is a deeply and inextricably local and global phenomenon; one that cannot exist in isolation from the other; (3) GSJ is transnational, transcending national and cultural boundaries; and (4) GSJ is both a domestic and global normative imperative recognizing instices of race, gender, class, sexuality, age and (dis)ability.
