A Journal of Crime, Conflict & World Order

25th Anniversary Commemoration

Price $15.95

Vol. 26, No. 2 (1999)

Twenty-eight contributors offer short memoirs, reflections, or longer critiques that commemorate a quarter century of publishing Social Justice. They candidly assess what has been accomplished (or not) since 1974 in terms of a progressive agenda and suggest future directions.

The essays reflect the geographical diversity that has characterized the journal's contents from the beginning. Authors from seven countries in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the South Pacific reflect on the world order, state repression, and crime.

"I have over the years come to regard Social Justice as a constituent element in my own growth and development as an independent-minded, politically conscious scholar."

Bernard D. Headley, Professor of Criminal Justice

"Social Justice is an important voice coming from the USA on ethical issues."

François Houtart, renowned liberation theologist and political-economist

"The level of critical, political analysis of the state and all that circulates therein, the inclusion of feminist and other minority perspectives in articles and in journal decision-making, the international scope of contributions, the frequent inclusion of criminal justice issues in the context of the larger, shifting U.S. national and international political economy, have for 25 years all served to make Social Justice a useful, reliable tool."

Karlene Faith, community activist for human justice and advocacy work with women in prison.

"There is nothing more threatening to the powers that be than the mixing of scholarship with activism, the combination of intellect and commitment. It is my sincere hope that Social Justice will continue to produce such a fantastically seditious product well into the 21st century."

Tim Wise, director, Association for White Anti-Racist Education (AWARE)
