This timely Handbook explores social justice in the Global South in an era of planetary crisis and shifting global dynamics. Presenting the Global South as a space of belonging and resistance to the hegemony of global capitalism, it identifies how to reimagine transformative futures for a just world.
Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, expert contributors examine the many dimensions of justice. They investigate the disparate impacts of injustices on marginalized groups across the Global South, highlighting the major shortcomings of conventional development models based around global mass consumption. The Handbook also covers the role of ecological considerations, localized struggles, resistance movements and the broader geopolitical landscape in shaping narratives of social justice. Drawing on inclusionary practices to create a balanced relationship in global knowledge production, it gives voice to scholars based in the Global South as well as those who have created a third space in the Global North.
The Handbook of Social Justice in the Global South is an essential resource for students and scholars of development studies, social justice, and inequality. Policymakers will also find it invaluable for enhancing their understanding of the conditions needed for global justice.

Critical Acclaim
‘The idea of social justice has inspired generations of people to struggle for more humane societies. Yet the paths have always been marked by chasms and blocks. This excellent Handbook introduces a variety of sites, in addition to organized struggles, where people imagine and claim justice. The excellence of the book rests on the variety of scholarship curated by editors Nikhil Deb, Manjusha Nair and Glenn W. Muschert. These chapters, their emphases, and cadences showcase the wealth of scholarship in the Global South and contribute to the ongoing process of decolonizing sociology. The foreword by Former ISA President, Sari Hanafi, provides an additional layer of excellence to this intellectual feast.’
