Justice, Equality and Community: An Essay in Marxist Political Theory

A careful and wide-ranging assessment of the notion of justice in the Marxist tradition is provided by this book. Vidhu Verma demonstrates that Marx′s analysis of exploitation provides a fruitful starting point to analyze current social conflicts. She examines three main themes: what she calls Marx′s "critical non-juridical" concept of justice; different theories about what justice is in the context of social change; and the relevance of Marx′s theory in the contemporary world in which new social movements - such as the green and women′s movements - have looked to forge new conceptions of justice.
