Longo successfully brings together the work of a diverse array of feminist and postcolonial scholars whose writings challenge Rawls. In this era of Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, and the Occupy movement, there is a pressing need for a textbook to help students navigate and understand the barriers to justice and how they may be dismantled. Justice Unbound provides that.
