title: Social Justice: Opposing Viewpoints (Opposing Viewpoints Series)
author: Carol Wekesser
description: Grade 9-12-- A presentation of both sides of several issues that center on social justice in short, succinct, and clear essays by a variety of observers. These voices argue whether or not the U. S. is a just nation, whether our economy promotes social justice, and which American policies would best do it. Two sections focus on social justice for minorities and women. Typical of the series, this book is well indexed and provides a selection of carefully chosen cartoons, charts, illustrations, and learning activities. --Doris A.

  heart. Don’t get swept along into false answers that lead to only more
  injustice.

  Christians to get right than this one, and we owe Dr. Williams a debt of
  gratitude for his courage and skill applied to the production of this
