Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice: Dispossessions, Marginalities, Rights [Paperback]

This book presents some of the finest essays on social justice, rights and public policy. With a new Introduction, it covers a range of issues and offers a guide to understanding law and socio-legal studies in South Asia.

'Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice will be of immense use to anyone whose study relates to social justice and public policy.  Over seven decades after the Constitution came into force the community of transgenders, the sex workers, adivasis, women, children, the scheduled castes and tribes, are yet to realise their rights and live with fundamental human dignity.  This volume compels practitioners and students of law to engage with these issues. Not dealing with rights in an abstract way, it engages with them in very practical terms, which is what we need if Constitutional rights are to be realised.'

'Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice is an important and much needed collection of rich, textured, critical and updated articles on most significant themes in law. The narrative of marginalities, rights, justice and the legal systems emerge in a seamless flow. While each section is distinct, the continuity among them is very well brought out. This volume is ideal as a ready reckoner on important issues in law and justice in India.'
