Essays and research on equality in Australian society

"The New Internationalist is one of the most profound magazines."
- Anita Roddick - Founder of The Body Shop
"New Internationalist is a magazine well worth reading as it respects the intelligence of its readers. It is independent, lively and properly provocative, helping to keep its readers abreast of important developments in parts of our globe that risk marginalisation. Read it!."
- Desmond M Tutu - Archbishop of Cape Town
"New Internationalist is an ongoing education and a monthly reminder of our common humanity. A wonderful readable guide to the social and political forces that shape our world...With its hard-hitting coverage of world affairs, evocative first-person essays, sweeping exposes of such topics as land mines and the geopolitics of blue jeans, the New Internationalist offers a consistently unique and important perspective on global culture."
- The editors of Utne Reader - when announcing the New Internationalist as the winner of the General Excellence Award for magazines with a circulation over 50,000 - global Independent Press Awards - 1998.
"The New Internationalist is a world leader in communicating development, environmental and social justice issues. It is a publication designed to lift the consciousness of people around the world for a sustainable and peaceful future. Also in pursuit of an equal and just world, Amnesty International is proud to be associated with the New Internationalist."
- Amnesty International

Equality Speaks
Challenges for a Fair Society

Australia may have dodged the bullet that has put the US, Britain and most European economies on life support, but this new collection of essays argues that - despite our enviable economic position - Australia is not the egalitarian paradise that many believe it to be.

Equality Speaks features an eclectic mix of writers who highlight a common challenge - to use our (relatively) stable economic times to make the shift to a fairer Australia. It includes new research on the distribution of wealth in Australia. And it brings together some of our sharpest minds to look at paths to a more equal Australia in areas like transport, homelessness, education, women, tax, refugees, work and employment amongst others.

This is a great resource for anyone with an interest in social policy and a concern about justice for our communities.

140 x 210 mm, 107 pages, paperback.
