Justice in the Making Book
 
Justice in the Making: Relating, Participating, Communicating (Making Better Social Worlds)Robyn Ann PenmanPaperback* How well is justice really served in our adversarial system in courts? * Why don’t measures relying on distributive justice really seem to solve social justice problems? * How can we account for the persistence of racist injustice, despite good intentions? * Has restorative justice been co-opted and compromised by the conventional justice system? * Are procedural justice measures really good enough? To address these questions and more, Robyn Penman invites you to explore with her what it can mean to reimagine justice as something we make together in the dynamic process of relating and communicating, with all its uncertainties and open-endedness. She draws particularly on ideas from the relational turn in philosophy, on pragmatism, on social constructionism, and on a communication perspective. Using a relational-communication framework, Robyn Penman shows how it is possible to pick up the threads of recent critiques and reform proposals in the justice literature and transform them into something so much better. In doing so, she develops a rich dynamic grammar, including concepts such as relational responsivity and responsibility, to account for the dynamics of making justice. She also offers new insights and possibilities towards acting justly in an ongoing co-created process.
