Controversies in Equal Protection Cases in America: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation de Anne Richardson Oakes

Controversies in Equal Protection Cases in America: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation: Controversies in American Constitutional Law

Editat de Anne Richardson Oakes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2017
This collection engages with current issues on equal protection in the USA, as seen from the perspectives of leading academics in this area. Contributors with a range of perspectives interrogate the legal, theoretical and factual assumptions which shape case law and consider the extent to which they satisfactorily address contemporary concerns with social hierarchies and norms. Divided into five parts, the study focusses on the connections between equal protection jurisprudence, discrimination in its contemporary manifestations, the implications of identity politics and the moral and political conceptualizations of equality that represent the parameters of debate. Drawing on historical analysis and disciplinary insights of the social sciences, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice. The themes presented and analyses developed are among some of the most contentious currently in America, and will be of interest not just to lawyers and legal academics, but also to inter-disciplinary social science researchers, including sociologists, economists and political scientists.

Recenzii

"Contributors to Oakes’s volume pursue an empirical and theoretical examination of equal protection in the United States, focusing on the connections between equal protection jurisprudence; discrimination in its contemporary manifestations; the implications of identity politics; and the moral and political conceptualizations of equality."
Law and Social Inquiry Journal
'This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the central debates in American equal protection law. A brilliant survey in which some of the leading scholars in the field weigh in on both the current status of the law and where it might still need to go to fulfil its promise of equality.' Devon Carbado, University of California, Los Angeles, USA, and author of Acting White? Rethinking Race in ’Post-Racial’ America
