The second edition of the Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief has been completely overhauled, with twenty-six new chapters by leaders in the fields of social justice, socially just practice, death, dying, loss, and grief. The chapters include opportunities for learning, reflection, and application to both clinical practice and scholarly discourse in the field.This is a scholarly work of social criticism, richly grounded in personal experience, evocative case studies, and current multicultural and sociocultural theories and research. It is also consistently practical and reflective, challenging readers to think through responses to ethically complex scenarios in which social justice is undermined by radically uneven opportunity structures, hierarchies of voice and privilege, personal and professional power, and unconscious assumptions, at the very junctures when people are most vulnerable—at points of serious illness, confrontations with end-of-life decision making, and in the throes of grief and bereavement.

Harris and Bordere give the reader an active and engaged take on the field, enticing readers to interrogate their own assumptions and practices while increasing, chapter after chapter, their cultural literacy regarding important groups and contexts. The Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief deeply and uniquely addresses a hot topic in the helping professions and social sciences and does so with uncommon readability.
