Philosophers and social theorists have long debated what equality
is, and this book probes what this means for both those at the
centre and on the margins of society. That people should be treated
as equals is one of the core principles that underpin our society.
Britain is in many ways a fairer and more equal society today than
at any other time in living memory. One hundred years ago women
were not allowed to vote: this seems preposterous now. It is an
undeniable truth, however, that inequalities still persist today.
In some cases they seem to grow. Prejudice is apparent in everyday
life, and flares up from time to time on a national scale. From
Brixton to Bradford, history is littered with examples. This book
engages with key issues today, and engages with how far we have
come as a society facing up to difficulties of the past and more
recent challenges. It goes on to explore ways forward to ensure
that we remain an open and tolerant society.
