Using examples of racial, gender, epistemic and environmental justice, Meer invites readers to see how ideas of justice are created and contested through lived human experience rather than from the theories we inherit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with clarity and urgency, this book will appeal to readers interested in sociology, political theory, law and global studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eNasar Meer\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Social \u0026amp; Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow and Honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509573646\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e228\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47648851099788,"sku":"9781509573646","price":58.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781509573646.jpg?v=1781090320","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509573646","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
