Description: Ingram (philosophy, Loyola University) brings a variety of current social dilemmas together in a mutually illuminating way. He examines the concept of legal equality in a multiracial society by considering issues such as self-governance for Native Americans, the rights of immigrants, affirmative action, and racial redistricting, tie also tackles the problem of social injustice in a global setting by assessing the negative impact of free trade policies on the rights of groups to self-determination and cultural integrity.
