Civility, Nonviolent Resistance, and the New Struggle for Social Justice /
:
In Civility, Nonviolent Resistance, and the New Struggle for Social Justice , Amin Asfari brings together scholarly contributions addressing the causes of injustice in its many forms. Predicated on the idea that violence and injustice are systemic and historical, this collection includes chapters that examine the antecedents and effects of prejudice, state-sponsored violence, policies of exclusion, and the social forces that shape and solidify their existence. Moving beyond ad-hoc, ahistorical, and descriptive explanations of violence and injustice, this volume provides a scholarly, multidisciplinary approach to confronting them. Contributions reflect the many ways in which injustice manifests, and civil, nonviolent means of engagement are emphasized, challenging the very systems that give rise to these notions.

Social justice, poverty and race : normative and empirical points of view /
:
A clear understanding of social justice requires complex rather than simple answers. It requires comfort with ambiguity rather than absolute answers. This is counter to viewing right versus wrong, just vs. unjust, or good vs. evil as dichotomies. This book provides many examples of where and how to begin to view these as continuums rather than dichotomies.

Values, Education, Emotional Learning, and the Quest for Justice in Education /
:
Values, Education, Emotional Learning, and the Quest for Justice in Education explores emotional teaching-learning as it is cultivated based on teachers' and learners' attraction to reasonableness and emotions and can give rise to a plausible form of decoloniality or decolonisation in and through education. This volume argues that when the latter manifests, the democratic transformation of education might ensue. Put differently, decoloniality or decolonisation of education is a substantive way to look at the democratisation and, by implication, transformation of education and schooling. We invite our readers to engage with the meanings espoused throughout this book in the quest to cultivate a genuinely decolonial form of education in universities and schools, where values education should be enacted reasonably and emotively in such educational institutions. Teachers and learners cannot remain silent when oppressive and hegemonic forces of modernity continue to guide educational practices in institutions.
