"This thoughtfully edited volume explores the operation of equality and discrimination
law in times of crisis. It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated
in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency.
Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst
for 'exponential inequalities' related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia,
transphobia, ageism, and ableism. Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant to
be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance
in mitigating these exponential inequalities. This is despite the fact that countries
like the UK have a rather recent and state-of-the-art legislation in the field, namely
the Equality Act 2010. Exponential Inequalities offers readers an understanding of
how these inequalities came to be and how crises such as the global pandemic, the
climate emergency, or the economic downturn, can exacerbate an already untenable situation
It illuminates both the structural and the conceptual, as well as the practical and
doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in equality law, and discusses whether
or not equality law even has the tools to both understand and then address this contingency.
Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, Exponential Inequalities
provides a comparative perspective on the functioning of equality laws across a range
of contexts and jurisdictions and represents an essential read for scholars and policy
makers alike."--Provided by publisher
