Equality is easy to grasp in theory but often hard to achieve in
reality. In this accessible and wide-ranging work, American
University law professor Robert L. Tsai offers a stirring account
of how legal ideas that aren't necessarily about equality at
all-ensuring fair play, behaving reasonably, avoiding cruelty, and
protecting free speech-have often been used to overcome resistance
to justice and remain vital today. Practical Equality is an
original and compelling book on the intersection of law and
society. Tsai, a leading expert on constitutional law who has
written widely in the popular press, traces challenges to equality
throughout American history: from the oppression of emancipated
slaves after the Civil War to the internment of Japanese Americans
during World War II to President Trump's ban on Muslim travelers.
He applies lessons from these and other past struggles to such
pressing contemporary issues as the rights of sexual minorities and
the homeless, racism in the criminal justice system, police
brutality, voting restrictions, oppressive measures against
migrants, and more. Deeply researched and well argued, Practical
Equality offers a sense of optimism and a guide to pursuing
equality for activists, lawyers, public officials, and concerned
citizens.
