Book Synopsis

As legal jurisdictions in the Global South, both India and South Africa have long histories of inequality and structural oppression. This book engages in comparative sociolegal analysis to examine the contours of social justice in both countries.

It explores the role of law as an instrument for social change in the face of persistent conditions of injustice, discrimination, social exclusion, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. The book addresses newly emerging socio-legal challenges for the social justice continuum in a neoliberal era. Focusing on four key themes, it explores:

the challenges for labour law and social security including informalisation, climate change, and migrancy;

law, technology, and social justice, with a focus on the role that emerging technologies often play to ameliorate or exacerbate social exclusion;

sexual orientation, gender, and substantive equality, grappling with the disjuncture between law and lived realities; and
