Knowledge for Justice : An Ethnic Studies Reader

Winner of the 2021 Association for Ethnic Studies Outstanding Book Award
Bronze Medal recipient, Anthologies, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards

Knowledge for Justice is a joint publication of UCLA’s four ethnic studies research centers: American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana/o Studies, and African American Studies. The book addresses the intersectional intellectual, social, and political struggles that confront the groups represented in the anthology. The selections articulate the specificity of each racial ethnic group’s struggle while simultaneously interrogating the ways in which such labels or categories are inadequate.
