Description

This book addresses some of the most difficult and important debates over injury and law now taking place in societies around the world.

The essays tackle the inescapable experience of injury and its implications for social inequality in different cultural settings.

Topics include the tension between physical and reputational injuries, the construction of human injuries versus injuries to non-human life, virtual injuries, the normalization and infliction of injuries on vulnerable victims, the question of reparations for slavery, and the paradoxical degradation of victims through legal actions meant to compensate them for their disabilities.

Authors include social theorists, social scientists and legal scholars, and the subject matter extends to the Middle East and Asia, as well as North America.
