Description
Humanity faces two urgent and interrelated problems that may affect our survival. One is that we are destroying our planet and are unable (or unwilling) to stop; the other is that, globally, human relationships, institutions, and systems continue to rely on and perpetuate social injustice.
One Humanity, One Planet: A Framework for Worldwide Social Justice examines these problems through the lens of the concept of One Humanity and One Planet-a vision of unity that emphasizes the fundamental interconnectedness of humans and their environment. The essays in this collection explore how this idea can help us intervene in the systemic oppression of people and the destruction of the natural world while highlighting the need for humanity to act as a global community.
