This casebook compares U.S. equality and anti-discrimination law with the law of several other legal systems, such as Europe, South Africa, China, Colombia, and Argentina. Coverage includes equality issues in marriage, employment, affirmative action, reproductive rights, state religion, religious minorities, hate speech, and federalism.

Extensive chapter notes add context to the developing law in these subject areas. Accessibility is enhanced by an extensive teacher's manual containing recommended syllabi for law school lectures, seminars, summer programs, and undergraduate law and society courses.
