{"product_id":"social-justice-movements-9781516523948","title":"Social Justice Movements","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocial Justice Movements is a reader about democracy in action. The anthology was developed as an examination of past movements for social  political  and economic justice and their impact on existing political and social structures. Each carefully curated reading was selected because of its ability to speak to historical events and movements that transcended human consciousness and moved society in a global directional shift.  Organized thematically  the first of the three main units focuses on historical narratives. The second addresses traditional protest movements  and the third is devoted to the impact of individual citizens on revolutionary social change  which is rooted in Betty Friedans seminal work The Feminist Mystique  and its view of the personal as deeply political.  Social Justice Movements enhances discussions on the difference between a theoretical framework of governance and the reality experienced by those on the periphery of society. The anthology is an inspiring addition to courses in political science  political history  or social justice.
