Handbook of Social Justice in the Global South

Nikhil Deb, CASAS’ member, has edited the Handbook of Social Justice in the Global South with Manjusha Nair, and Glenn W. Muschert.

As they established in the Preface, “we aim to establish a bold and uncompromising agenda for social justice research, praxis, and discourse in the Global South. We are on the cusp of change at the intersection of theory and practice, scholarship, and lived experience. Here, our goals are twofold: analysis and catalysis. The rallying cry of social justice requires our focus. It calls on us to speak out against oppressive structures, address systemic injustices, and elevate the voices of the marginalized. But even so, how do we make these lofty dreams a reality? How can we close the gaps between universal values, regional conflicts, and local struggles? In its myriad forms, social justice is an urgent call to action in and on behalf of the Global South. In this place, pasts intersect and the future unfolds. It is the activist defending ancestral lands, the urban youth reclaiming public spaces for expression, the women organizing against gender-based violence, the farmer adjusting to the grip of climate change, and the scholar challenging Eurocentric paradigms and amplifying silenced narratives.”

The editors have also written the first chapter “Social justice in the Global South: revitalizing fundamental questions”
