{"product_id":"redefining-equality","title":"Redefining Equality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe idea of equality is central to American civic life and one of the foundations of our national identity. Charges of unequal treatment continue to be voiced nationwide, in both the public discourse and the courts, yet there is no consensus on the meaning of equality. Competing views on this topic have erupted into a cultural conflict that looms large in contemporary American politics. In this collection of insightful essays, distinguished scholars in\n\u003cbr\u003elaw, history, and social science present varying perspectives on this fundamental concept. Addressing the specific cases behind the headlines and the abstract arguments within the legal texts, the\n\u003cbr\u003econtributors look closely at everything from school bussing programs and affirmative action to the role of the courts and the politics of equality. Various examples and definitions of equality, culled from America's past and present, are summarized and examined in ways that illustrate how and why equality issues directly affect men and women of all races and backgrounds. Redefining Equality, a balanced array of assessments regarding our nation's historical and contemporary\n\u003cbr\u003ethoughts on equality and civil rights, will prove most informative to students of law, political science, and recent American history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156697444590,"sku":"9780195116656","price":174.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195116656.jpg?v=1706247523","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/redefining-equality","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
