Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Institutional Discrimination: Global Injustice, Local Responses examines how institutions shape contemporary forms of displacement and victimisation across settings such as colonial governance, justice systems, climate-related harm, and algorithmic discrimination. Its central claim is that institutions, through routine procedures, classifications, legal interpretations, and administrative practices, can produce, intensify, and normalise victimisation.
The book asks how these dynamics may be interrupted or mitigated, foregrounding community empowerment, legal mobilisation, and institutional transformation. Each chapter combines rigorous academic analysis with real-world applications, offering theoretical frameworks while pointing towards practical pathways for justice, resilience, and reconciliation. Overall, the volume reveals how power erodes identity, security, rights, and attachments to place and argues that recovering collective agency is crucial to repairing and advancing justice.
This volume serves academics, postgraduate students, and practitioners working across sociology, law, criminology, political science, and environmental studies and will also provide valuable insights for policymakers, human rights advocates, and community organisers seeking to understand and address systemic injustices through bottom-up approaches.
