Series: Spaces and Practices of Justice

This book considers young people's conceptions and experiences of social justice through key transitions in their lives. It examines the factors shaping and constraining young people's actions for a fairer society in a time when real world and virtual social spaces have become fragmented.

Considering questions of race, gender and class the collection includes globally diverse research perspectives, including those from Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Brazil. The book offers inspiring insights on the approaches researchers, youth practitioners and young people are finding to challenge the injustices they face and be a positive force in promoting social justice.
