The Palgrave Handbook of Ubuntu, Inequality and Sustainable Development interrogates the multiple inequalities that subsist in the world and explores how Ubuntu, emerging from Africa but being potentially applicable elsewhere, holds promise for mitigation and resolution. It highlights inequalities that relate to gender, climate change, the environment, race, migration, and the struggle against poverty. It reflects on how and the extent to which Ubuntu can be a strategic resource in pursuit of equality and justice.
