“I enjoyed reading–and learned a great deal from–nearly every chapter. … I give much credit and appreciation to the editors for assembling a remarkably diverse set of authors, and of course to the authors themselves for their efforts to balance breadth and depth. Most of the readings are perfectly appropriate for assigning in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, and I can strongly recommend this collection to all scholars and practitioners working in social justice and related areas.” (Barry Markovsky, Social Justice Research, Vol. 30, 2017)
