I've been thinking for some time that there are so many great books and articles about social justice issues, but most people only know of one or two! So I thought it would be very useful for SACs (and everyone else interested in social justice) to have a list of lots of these books and articles that they can turn to when they want to educate themselves or others, start a social justice reading group, etc.
So here are the books and articles that I know of that are on Social Justice topics. Thanks to all the SACs who attended the YSJT 2007 who helped me compile this list so far.
This is simply meant to be a very beginning, and I hope that you will let me know of any others you know of, and that we can make this list grow! Also, if you have read any of these books or articles and would like to send in a little blurb so others know what it's about, that would also be great! Once this list has become a bit longer and more comprehensive (with several books/articles on lotsof different topics), I will post in on the YRUU website!
