Details

This book is the first in-depth analysis of classism as a form of discrimination.

While it establishes that there is little justification for excluding class from much legal analysis, it presents a cautionary argument about the wholesale inclusion of class as a protected ground. Its examination of a much overlooked topic combines theoretical argument with a concrete, detailed legal analysis. This is a thoughtful, nuanced and important work on a crucial question.
