Description: Michele Moody-Adams explores what social movements have shown about the nature of justice and what it takes to create space for justice in the world. She argues that these insights are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice--and should be transformative for political thought as well as for political activism.
Review Quotes:
We face systems of egregious injustice. Prevailing theories, which focus on abstract principles, provide little guidance for addressing injustice. Making Space for Justice finds practical and theoretical insight in progressive social movements. This groundbreaking book shows that they apply constructive imagination with 'humane regard, ' joining 'compassionate concern' with 'robust respect.'
