Summary:

"In Moral Education for Social Justice, the authors move students beyond the adoption of the values of the dominant culture (what the authors refer to as becoming "nice" people), toward a position of personal and societal moral critique. The authors argue that the development of social and moral cognition does not occur in isolation. The authors take the relational development systems framework approach that views each component of human development as interacting with each other as well as with the surrounding environment"-- Provided by publisher.
