Book Description: Inequality and Interdependence: Social Problems and Social Justice examines the persistent social problems of our world, asking both who suffers and who benefits. We explore inequality in issues that challenge communities today, such as education, mental health, death and dying, and disaster recovery, among others. We invite students to celebrate the work of those who remind us of our interdependence, to imagine powerful equitable solutions, and to co-create a more just world.

Book Description
Inequality and Interdependence: Social Problems and Social Justice examines the persistent structural inequalities, beliefs, and behaviors that result in deeply rooted social problems of our world, such as houselessness, environmental degradation, gender violence, and racism. We explore what COVID-19 revealed about inequalities in health, mental health, and death and dying. However, we don’t stop with inequality. We also celebrate the resilience and resistance of scholars, activists, communities, and movements who are imagining a more just world and taking interdependent individual and collective action to create it. We include an extended case study of a community rising from the ashes of a devastating wildfire. In all that we do, we center the voices of students and oppressed people whose experiences and insights are often missing from traditional texts.
