Description+

This is the long-awaited third edition of the bestselling, multi-award–winning introduction to foundational concepts in social justice education.

In response to the deep divides in public discourse, this edition provides a framework for reaching common ground on issues of justice within a pluralistic democracy. The authors have updated statistics, research, and examples, and revised discussion questions and extension activities to guide classroom dialogue and engagement with complex issues. New topics include the science of sex and gender, and the political backlash against equity and racial justice efforts. The authors trace the roots of white supremacy globally in the history of colonialism. Concepts such as oligarchy, kleptocracy, and capitalism’s relationship to democracy are introduced and discussed. Accessible to students from high school through graduate school, this comprehensive resource addresses the most common stumbling blocks to understanding social justice. Is Everyone Really Equal? is an up-to-date and engaging textbook and professional development resource that includes many user-friendly features, examples, vignettes, and activities to not just define but illustrate key concepts.

Book Features:

  • User-friendly features such as accessible language, “definition boxes” to reinforce concepts, “perspective checks” to acknowledge multiple viewpoints, and “stop boxes” that anticipate and address common points of resistance.
  • A glossary that includes an explanation of social justice language and its complexities and changes over time.
  • Discussion questions, extension activities, and exercises for book groups and classroom study.
  • An accessible resource for instructors in disciplines including education, sociology, political science, criminal justice, nursing, social work, health sciences, gender and sexuality studies, and race and ethnic studies in the United States and Canada.
