The continuing expansion of neoliberalism into ever more spaces and
spheres of life has profound implications for social justice. Despite
the number of policies designed to target 'social exclusion', people
in many communities continue to be marginalized by economic
restructuring.
Social Justice and Neoliberalism explores the connections between
neoliberalism, social justice and exclusion. The authors raise
critical questions about the extent to which neoliberal programmes are
able to deliver social justice in different locations around the
world. The book offers grounded, theoretically oriented, empirically
rich analysis that critiques neoliberalism while understanding its
material impacts. It also stresses the need to extend analyses beyond
the dominant spheres of capitalism to look at the ways in which
communities resist and remake the economic and social order, through
contestation and protest but also in their everyday lives.
Global in scope, this book brings together writers who examine these
themes in the global South, the former 'communist' East and the West,
using the experience of marginal peoples, places and communities to
challenge our conceptions of capitalism and its geographies.
