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.
