This book examines the concept of intersectional discrimination and
why it has been difficult for jurisdictions around the world to
redress it in discrimination law. 'Intersectionality' was coined by
Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Thirty years since its conception, the
term has become a buzzword in sociology, anthropology, feminist
studies, psychology, literature, and politics. But it remains marginal
in the discourse of discrimination law, where it was first conceived.
Traversing its long and rich history of development, the book explains
what intersectionality is as a theory and as a category of
discrimination. It then explains what it takes for discrimination law
to be reimagined from the perspective of intersectionality in
reference to comparative laws in the US, UK, South Africa, Canada,
India, and the jurisprudence of the European Courts (CJEU and ECtHR)
and international human rights treaty bodies.
