The unit examines sociological matters of social justice in a South African and African context. Issues that are critically examined include equity, minority rights, democratic government, economic opportunities and human rights. The unit adopts a comparative approach to social justice issues over several political and legal states and examines historical periods and the way in which they approached social justice. Consitutionalism, social and political control, and equity issues are analysed to demonstrate the disparate definitions of social justice. -- Course Website
