Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewInsightful and timely. Ladson-Billings challenges us to think again about concepts like ‘social justice’ that have become buzz words while robustly interrogating own understandings of what justice means. At last a book that explores the concept of justice from a global perspective, drawing from thinkers from the East and West. For me, this is a basic reader for those involved in educating for justice and against discrimination and should be read by every teacher, university/college lecturer engaged in teacher preparation and those who shape and design curricular frameworks. -- Rowena Arshad CBE, Professor Emerita, University of Edinburgh, UK
