The positions represented span the political spectrum, and the debate moves back and forth between the theoretical and the practical. Expressing often radically different political points of view, the contributors discuss such topics as individual rights, human good, mutual indebtedness, sexual relations, the family, individual desert, private property, self-ownership, and the welfare state.

Book Description
Combining archival research, critical theory, and gender- and disability-analysis, Nate Holdren argues that Progressive Era reform to employee injury law created new employment discrimination against disabled people and a new injury culture that treated employees and their injuries instrumentally.

Book Description
The collapse of communism, the rise of identity politics, and struggles over global governance have combined to create new challenges for the Left: How to do justice to legitimate claims for multiculturalism and democratization without abandoning the Left's historic-and still indispensable-commitment to economic equality? How to broaden the understanding of injustice by adding cultural and political insult to economic injury? Adding Insult to Injury tracks the debate sparked by Nancy Fraser's controversial effort to combine redistribution, recognition, and representation in a new understanding of social justice. The volume showcases Fraser's critical exchanges with leading thinkers, including Judith Butler, Richard Rorty, Iris Marion Young, Anne Phillips, and Rainer Frost. The result is a wide-ranging and at times contentious exploration of varied approaches to rebuilding the Left.

Book Description
DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOKIn 1996, a middle aged electrical engineer (plaintiff) was injured while working at a contract position in a General Motors plant. Plaintiff filed an injury lawsuit and for this he was retaliated against by his company and General Motors. Plaintiff then filed a retaliation lawsuit against GM and his company. A vindictive district court judge dismissed his case. The case was appealed and because information was withheld that would have damaged defendants' case, the appeals court, in 2004, upheld the lower courts verdict. Attorney fees were then awarded to the defendants. The plaintiff's attorney then backed out of the case and, in the next 4 years, the plaintiff on his own filed 5 additional lawsuits in a futile attempt to get a trial by jury. All court documents are included which proves every point of this judiciary injustice.

Book Description
Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly‚ Slate‚ Chronicle of Higher Education‚ Literary Hub, Book Riot‚ and Zora A tenth-anniversary edition of the iconic bestseller—"one of the most influential books of the past 20 years," according to the Chronicle of Higher Education—with a new preface by the author "It is in no small part thanks to Alexander's account that civil rights organizations such as Black Lives Matter have focused so much of their energy on the criminal justice system." —Adam Shatz, London Review of Books Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander's unforgettable argument that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is "undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S." Now, ten years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a tenth-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.

Book Description
Welcome to this publication into the experience of overwhelming injustice in emergency first responder roles, armed forces and healthcare services and the hypothesis of Posttraumatic Blame, which is introduced for the first time. Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED) and moral injury (MI) are explored. The primary aim of this book is to provide people and groups with information and support. The research seeks to ascertain if PTED and Moral Injury are fundamentally the same, though presented as two different constructs and whether it would be beneficial to have one or both conditions classified in medical diagnostic manuals, for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment.The secondary aim is to identify if these conditions are comorbid with PTSD and therefore requiring specific treatment to assist with PTSD recovery. Symptoms of embitterment, moral injury and PTSD seem to be a common experience for many frontline workers, their partners and survivors of abuse; including revenge fantasy, feelings of humiliation and shame, anger, perceived injustice and betrayal. Some individuals appear unable to 'move-on' from feeling victimized and wronged, which in turn may inhibit their post traumatic growth and PTSD recovery. Embitterment may lead to immutable loss of trust in individuals, groups, organisations or societies and symptoms may become debilitating. The experience may create disaffection, disillusionment and underperformance. Chronic embitterment can lead to a marked preoccupation with the pursuit of justice, holding those responsible to account, seeking vindication and rumination on revenge.The main features of PTED and MI, such as feelings of betrayal, difficulty with forgiveness, embittered attitude, experience of loss, blame and desire for revenge are discussed. The way values, morals and beliefs in a just world interact with psychological and emotional regulation, are of great importance throughout the research. The research explores predisposing factors to PTED and MI, as well as possible measures of prevention, treatment and therapeutic options. Case studies are used, to demonstrate real life examples of perceived moral injury or injustice; and the impact these experiences can have on individuals and others through vicariousness. This research is expected to be of use and interest to serving and retired frontline professionals, complaint handlers, human resources personnel, legal professionals, healthcare providers and researchers. Caution: Contains some details of trauma and explicit language."This research is reliable and valid, in fact, it is extremely robust. There are significant observations and findings. This book is refreshing, honest and adds real value to the body of knowledge in this field. Claire is a selfless and caring individual. She is an inspiration to us all. I applaud her valiant efforts." - Dr Brian W. Seggie
