This book examines the federal statutory protection against employment discrimination, highlighting the themes of workplace equality that are embodied in the civil rights laws. Like prior editions, this edition features many recent cases, including Bostock v. Clayton County, new developments in the law and a substantial revision on the ADA and the materials relating to sex discrimination. The book also includes diverse contemporary scholarship drawn from critical race theory, feminist legal theory, history, social science, and law and economics, among other disciplines. The authors’ extensive materials framing the cases are designed to prepare students thoroughly for practice in this rapidly changing field of law.
