This book examines the harm ‘everyday’ discrimination causes and proposes ways in which it can be redressed. It draws on critical and feminist theory to forge an analysis of this harm. Arguing that anti-discrimination law can be used as a tool to offer protection, the book considers its limits – and possibilities – for redressing this practice.
This book examines the harm that everyday discrimination can cause and proposes ways in which it can be redressed. Extreme forms of harmful expression, such as incitement to hatred, have been significantly addressed in law. Everyday generalised prejudice, negative stereotypes and gross under-representation of disadvantaged groups in mainstream media are, however, widely perceived as ‘normal’, and their criticism is regularly trivialised. In response, this book draws on critical and feminist theory in order to forge a theoretical analysis of the harm created through everyday discrimination. Arguing that anti-discrimination law can and should be extended as a tool to offer protection against the harm inflicted, the book goes on to consider both its limits, and possibilities, for redressing this discriminatory practice.

Karla Pérez Portilla has researched, taught and published in comparative and constitutional law, human rights and equality and discrimination themes in Mexico, England and Scotland.
