Solanke’s monograph offers a genuinely innovative theory of antidiscrimination law, embracing an interdisciplinary approach that remains all too rare in legal scholarship ... Focusing on the link between law and society can only be a good thing, particularly in such trying times. Solanke’s monograph is highly recommended. It is a much-needed contribution to anti-discrimination scholarship.
