  This book concentrates on the education utopias of China and Finland, focusing on the burning issue of social justice in the education system. Arguing that, although the two countries differ immensely, they could both benefit from sharing and problematizing discussions and practices of social justice in their respective schools, the book questions the meanings of comparing and contrasting in education. The authors propose a perspective that looks into broader contexts, but also into the micro-context of the classroom, to call for the concept of social justice to be strengthened and re-contextualized in order to be a valid comparative point.
