Description: ""Transforming justice" is defined as a specialized social construct that occurs when individuals are in a position to secure rights and correct injustices due to their possession of specific power. In this book, Thomas F. McMahon details the framework for this concept and illustrates the unique relevance it gains through its ability to integrate the abstract concepts of rights, power, and justice. This idea is exemplified by an examination of the lives of eight twentieth-century leaders whose profiles illustrate their enactment of transforming justice in various forms. Observations and conclusions are offered to integrate transforming justice with current social, philosophical, and theological thinking. Ethical Leadership through Transforming Justice shows how power affects the exercise of rights and justice in society."--BOOK JACKET.
