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.
