Foundations of Employment Discrimination Law

Foundations of Employment Discrimination Law looks at the moral and philosophical issues of employment and discrimination, featuring readings from Isaiah Berlin, Owen Fiss, and Milton Friedman. It covers the general development of the law, and devotes a section each to race discrimination, sex discrimination, and age and disability discrimination. Within each section Donohue considers the theories, economic issues, and the impact of the law, and includes a selection of critical perspectives. The Foundations of Law Series offers a collection of comprehensive readings that provide an interdisciplinary perspective on a substantive legal field. Edited by scholars who have made important contributions, the readings are designed to provide an accessible introduction to the leading scholarship in a field. Accompanying notes and questions permit students to engage fully in the literature on their own, as well as to aid their understanding of material covered in classes.
