Description
This book is the first in-depth analysis of classism and the law.
Why doesn't the law protect class? Why do people often ignore classism as a form of discrimination? Why does legal scholarship sideline class and classism?
Arguing that class and classism have been ignored in much legal analysis, this book presents a new framework for approaching classism as a form of discrimination. Its examination of a much-overlooked topic combines theoretical argument with detailed analysis of the law. While accepting the dangers of using the law to protect against classism, this book suggests that reform in this area is long overdue.
This is a thoughtful, nuanced and important work on a crucial question.
