Zusammenfassung
African Perspectives on Social Justice is a collection of the reflections of a group of twenty critical thinkers, scholars, and civil society activists from East Africa on the concepts, notions, and experiences of social justice in the region. The authors present national perspectives on issues relevant to social justice and reflect on discourses and debates regarding this issue from a critical theoretical perspective while locating them in the contemporary realities of the African continent. The case for a discourse-theoretic, power-centered theory of justice is made that sheds light on relations of power in a society rather than merely distributive elements of justice. The collection intends to stimulate a broad engagement with questions of justice and their relevance for contemporary eastern Africa.
