Author Description

Without Justice for All questions, examines, and explains the way a new orthodoxy among American leaders and opinion-makers has contributed to the social stratification and inequality that plagues America today. Contributors look at the history of our social policies since the New Deal, as well as the status of specific policy arenas and political shifts over the past fifty years. Throughout, the central thread is a critical response to a now conventional argument that liberalism must be reconfigured in ways that retreat from immediate identification with the interests of labor, minorities, and the poor. Without Justice for All, written for both students and general readers, is a timely and important contribution to the dialogue on race in modern America.
