This volume reviews previously separate bodies of research on social justice, social equality, and social development to help us understand the relation between social inequalities and social development. It documents the powerful ways that social inequalities frame development and explores the conflicts that arise in the context of inequalities that plague society. It illustrates how children, adolescents, and adults around the world make judgments and how they resist or change the practices and institutions they deem unjust. The editors' goal is to demonstrate how understanding social development carries with it the possibility of change and social justice. Intended for researchers and advanced students in developmental and social psychology, social policy, health research, anthropology, and philosophy this book will appeal to those interested in making the world socially just.
