ABSTRACT
The five essays in Part IV expand the discourse on the complex topic of social justice through the use of selected historic and contemporary examples from music, art, film, and literature. Through the examination of a broad range of cultural artifacts, they link modern concerns about social justice with their historic roots and context while dramatising the perspectives expressed in other parts of the Handbook. Like the other entries in this volume, entire books could be organised around the themes of any one of these essays. Those that follow constitute, therefore, a limited, but provocative glimpse into the multiple ways in which culture reflects alternative views of social justice and can be used to promote social justice goals.1
