Recenzii

'Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice will be of immense use to anyone whose study relates to social justice and public policy.  Over seven decades after the Constitution came into force the community of transgenders, the sex workers, adivasis, women, children, the scheduled castes and tribes, are yet to realise their rights and live with fundamental human dignity.  This volume compels practitioners and students of law to engage with these issues. Not dealing with rights in an abstract way, it engages with them in very practical terms, which is what we need if Constitutional rights are to be realised.'
V.S. Elizabeth, Tamil Nadu National Law University, Trichy, India
 
'Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice is an important and much needed collection of rich, textured, critical and updated articles on most significant themes in law. The narrative of marginalities, rights, justice and the legal systems emerge in a seamless flow. While each section is distinct, the continuity among them is very well brought out. This volume is ideal as a ready reckoner on important issues in law and justice in India.'
Ruchira Goswami, West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, India
 
Routledge Readings on Law and Social Justice offers comprehensive resource material for those interested in contemporary politico-legal scholarship. The contested sites of the constitution, courts, prisons, land or complex processes of migration, trafficking, or geographical indications and their entanglements are covered in this volume, which makes it a compelling read for any student of law, socio-legal studies, legal historian or practitioner of law. This volume foregrounds the politics and plural lives of/in law and becomes an essential reading for everyone who takes law, marginality and violence seriously. It will be of extraordinary interest to legal scholars and practitioners. 
Rukmini Sen, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi, India
