Focusing on theory, current trends, and the future of social justice movements in Canada and around the world, Issues in Social Justice offers a valuable contribution to the growing debates on what social justice means in our increasingly globalized world. Examining such key topics as modern citizenship, human rights, transformations of the welfare state under neoliberalism, and transnational activism, this text shows that attaining social justice is a complex process of change, one that links local and global struggles for redistribution, recognition, and representation.
