Discrimination law

by Sandra Fredman

"Sandra Fredman provides an introduction to discrimination law which is accessible, yet challenging and thought provoking. The concepts of equality and discrimination are elucidated by relating the law to its social and historical context and by drawing on a wide variety of philosophical and legal sources, including materials from other jurisdictions. The book contains chapters on the sources of discrimination, the scope of discrimination law, the concepts of direct and indirect discrimination, the issue of reverse discrimination, and the limits of the law in providing rights and remedies for discrimination."--Jacket.
