“I thought it would be difficult to improve on the first edition of Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief. I was wrong. At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion are being so challenged, their revised edition is a needed tonic, offering hope and possibilities in a darkening world. This work must be read!”Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, senior vice president for grief programs, The Hospice Foundation of America“The dominating paradigm of grief as an individual experience downplays and disregards the social, political, structural, and economic circumstances in which losses occur. The authors in this handbook shed much-needed light on the broader societal factors that impact the grief of marginalized communities facing death and non-death losses. Highly recommended!”Donna Schuurman, EdD, FT, senior director of advocacy and education and executive director emeritus of the Dougy Center, The National Grief Center for Children and Families, USA“This updated edition is a comprehensive exploration of the political dimensions and contexts of the end of life and what social justice in dying, death, and bereavement means for people and planet. In an increasingly unstable world, this revised volume has never been more important. Everyone needs to read it.”Kate Woodthorpe, PhD, director of the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath, UK“The Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief makes an enormous and timely contribution to understanding death, dying, grief, and loss at the nexus of social inequalities, state violence, and structural erasures. The book issues an urgent call to prioritize social justice in how we talk about grief and loss so that we can better meet the needs of marginalized groups of people whose experiences are often diminished or overlooked in thanatology literature.”Erica Lawson, associate professor of gender, sexuality, and women’s studies, Western University, Canada
