Social Justice Literature
Social Justice Literature refers to written works that address issues of inequality, discrimination, and human rights. This genre often highlights the experiences of marginalized groups, aiming to raise awareness and promote empathy among readers. It can include novels, essays, poetry, and non-fiction that explore themes such as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.
These works serve as a platform for voices that are often unheard, encouraging discussions about social change and justice. Authors like James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie have made significant contributions to this genre, using their narratives to challenge societal norms and inspire activism.
