'This book provides a unique contribution to the practice of equality and non-discrimination in different jurisdictions. It fosters a strategic use of comparative law. Such a global approach to anti-discrimination law promotes the diffusion of legal arguments which transform the principle of equality. A must read for lawyers and academics eager to achieve social justice.'--sabelle Rorive, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium'Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law stands out for its carefully-curated selection of materials, its genuinely international range of reference, and the rigour of its editorial content. Equality and discrimination law has put down deep roots in multiple different legal systems: this book provides an invaluable overview of the conceptual debates that surround its development.'--Colm O'Cinneide, University College London, UK
