The article explores the role of ethnographers in understanding injustice, situated between large-scale events and individual resistance. It emphasizes their unique ability to present familiar facts in unfamiliar ways, challenging underlying assumptions about justice. Through examples of global injustices and the responsibility of anthropologists to illuminate them, it advocates for a reevaluation of academic interest in justice and calls for a more emotive and interdisciplinary approach to addressing injustice. Finally, it suggests that anthropologists, by breaking disciplinary boundaries and drawing inspiration from diverse sources, are best positioned to contribute to the pursuit of new organizing principles, proposing even a "war on injustice" as a potential endeavor
