This thoughtfully edited volume explores the operation of equality
and discrimination law in times of crisis. It aims to understand
how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether
equality law has the tools to understand and address this
contingency. Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the
pandemic has acted as a catalyst for 'exponential inequalities'
related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia,
ageism, and ableism. Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant
to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little
immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities.
This is despite the fact that countries like the UK have a rather
recent and state-of-the-art legislation in the field, namely the
Equality Act 2010. Exponential Inequalities offers readers an
understanding of how these inequalities came to be and how crises
such as the global pandemic, the climate emergency, or the economic
downturn, can exacerbate an already untenable situation. It
illuminates both the structural and the conceptual, as well as the
practical and doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in
equality law, and discusses whether or not equality law even has
the tools to both understand and then address this contingency.
Written by a team of internationally recognized experts,
Exponential Inequalities provides a comparative perspective on the
functioning of equality laws across a range of contexts and
jurisdictions and represents an essential read for scholars and
policy makers alike.
