Reviews

In the digital age, scholars wrestle with the evolving relationship of justice to the new globalism. French and Manzan rez's treatise is an important addition to the critical study of that relationship. The authors leap into the vortex where politics, culture, and economics collide. They emerge to suggest that classism, ethnocentrism, and inequality are still the driving forces of North American affairs. Agree or not, French and Manzan rez's treatise is provocative reading. Historically based and forcibly argued, it contributes mightily to our understanding of twenty-first century justice in the hemisphere we hold in common.--John T. Kirkpatrick
