Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A reinterpretation of justice in Catholic social thought as a lived experience of communal life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Washington, DC has been a hub of Latin American immigration since the 1970s, when many people fled conflict in Central America. This community arrived to a complex, majority-African American city with a strong local culture and a legacy of racial segregation, setting the stage for a unique identity formation. Using an ethnographic approach, Amelia Tseng explores how the uniquely diverse Latinx community used language to find its place in Washington and make space for itself in a city in the midst of change. Focusing on the people, Empanadas, Pupusas, and Greens on the Side is the first book that explores the language, identity, and belonging of the Latin American community within the nation's capital'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A deeply researched account of the life and legacy of the man who defined the profession of private eye.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Catholics traditionally have relied on the definition of justice supplied by Thomas Aquinas. Yet developments in human history complicate this medieval conception of justice. Take but two examples. We now live in democracies, where citizens elect their leaders and so bear the responsibilities of distributive justice once assigned only to kings and princes. And the growing interest in restorative justice means that one-on-one injustices require the involvement of a larger community for long-term healing. Add other developments-secularism, the growth of Christianity in the Global South, economic change, the impact of social scientific insights, and a host of widely acknowledged obligations related to the environment, social media, privacy, religious freedom, gender, racism, harassment, transparency, etc. Together, they require new ways of thinking about justice in Catholic social thought. This book draws on a number of traditions, from Africa, Hindu, and Buddhist understandings of justice to Latin American theological and Scriptural readings of justice to develop a new concept for our times. The result is a definition of justice as a lived experience of communal life characterized by the freedom and equal dignity of all people and by equitable relationships of exchange and access to the common goods of the community'.
