Summary:

"This book brings together sociological insights, theoretical perspectives, and global research to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities of power, violence, and justice. It explores a diverse range of urgent topics, including: colonialism, migration, race, gender and intersectionality, social movements, security, environment, and education. In doing so, it asks what the role of sociology is -- and could be -- in moving us forward? Both critical and hopeful, this collection stimulates us as researchers and human beings, it challenges us to reflect, respond, and share in the responsibility of countering the forces that perpetrate violence, subvert equality, and dilute the notion of justice."-- Back cover.
