When looking at novels to include in my blogs on The Pirate Tree, I have defined social justice issues as those issues that marginalize or make someone an outsider. Within that broad definition, I've discussed economic disparity, single parenting and its effects on adolescents, cultural differences, gay and lesbian-themed books, disabilities and social disorders so far. If a book tackles a social issue, I think it belongs on our blog. But I'm not sure this is how Lyn or the others sharing this blog perceive social justice issues. Perhaps Lyn can chime in? Ann Angel

Can we specify what we mean by social justice? Is it 1) economic diversity, 2) bad things that happen, 3) inequality among groups, 4) inequality of process, 5) inequality of outcomes, or something else? Without some definition it feels like a form of Rorschach test - it is whatever you want it to be.

Thanks

Charles
