The Agenda for Social Justice sheds light on some of the most pressing social problems in the contemporary United States and proposes public policy responses to those problems. Written by a highly respected team of contributors brought together by the Society for the Study of Social Problems at the University of Tennessee, it offers recommendations for key actions to be taken by elected officials, policy makers, and the public in advancing social justice. Of interest to scholars across a range of academic disciplines, from sociology to cultural studies, this book will also be an important resource for social justice advocates and activists.
