Reflections on Remembrance: Voices from an Ixcán Village --List of Contributors --IndexThe new millennium began with the triumph of democracy and markets. But for whom is life just, how so, and why? And what is being done to correct persisting injustices? Blending macro-level global and national analysis with in-depth grassroots detail, the contributors highlight roots of injustices, how they are perceived, and efforts to alleviate them. Following up on issues raised in the groundbreaking best-seller Power and Popular Protest: Latin American Social Movements (California, 2001), these essays elucidate how conceptions of justice are socially constructed and contested and historically contingent, shaped by people's values and institutionally grounded in real-life experiences. The contributors, a stellar coterie of North and Latin American scholars, offer refreshing new insights that deepen our understanding of social justice as ideology and practice.Social justiceLatin AmericaDemocratizationLatin AmericaFree tradeSocial aspectsLatin Americaanthology.collection of essays.contemporary latin america.democracy.fairness and equality.global analysis.human rights.ideological.injustice.international perspective.latin america.latin american scholars.local issues.modern history.nonfiction essays.political activism.political protests.political science.regional history.social activists.social constructs.social history.social justice.social movements.social sciences.textbooks.Social justiceDemocratizationFree tradeSocial aspects303.3/72/098Eckstein Susan1942-133970Wickham-Crowley Timothy P.1951-1484978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783294603321What justice? whose justice3757387UNINA
