Reviews

The editors stress that one aim of their volume is to demonstrate that certain questions are worth investigation . The book does so in an exemplary manner, and, invariably, the chapters provide interesting arguments for the conclusions their authors advocate. I suspect the volume will become a standard reference in philosophical discussions of discrimination and discrimination law. * Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * This book would be suitable for any academic law library or any library serving students in philosophy or political scienceit would be important reading for a lawyer interested in discrimination law. * Kristina Oldenburg, Canadian Law Library Review *
