Originally published in French in 2010, Justice and Space Injustices (Bret et al. eds., Presses Universitaires de Paris Ouest) explores the complexity of the concept of spatial justice in their ethical, political, philosophical and theoretical dimensions, from an interdisciplinary and global perspective. The work of this compilation proposes sharp analysis of spatial justice with regard to issues such as racism, memory, neoliberal urban policies, and policies of identities. The volume includes works by Bernard Bret, Peter Marcuse, Lisa Brawley, Rashad Shabazz, Pascal Pey, Claudia Linder Leporda, Vincent Veschambre, Maeba Paupert, Susan Phillips, Conerly Casey, Philippe Gervais-Lambony, Fréderíc Dufaux, Claire Hancock, Fréderic Landy, and a posthumous translation of Edward Soja, who in his memory we dedicate this edition.

This new Spanish edition (UNR Editora, 2016), includes an extensive introductory study that addresses the challenges of spatial justice and their trajectories in Latin America in comparative perspective about the socio-environmental tensions of neoliberalism, urban policies and studies on violence and memory conflicts, developed by EPS Programme researchers (Salamanca, Astudillo and Fedele).

The presentation will be conducted by: Patricia Nari (National University of Rosario-Cities Management Institute), Aurélie Quentin (University Paris Nanterre - La Défense) and Francisco Astudillo Pizarro (University of Atacama/ EPS CEI-National University of Rosario).

Thursday September 8, 2016, Centro Cultural para la Cooperación Floreal Gorini, Buenos Aires.
