Indirect discrimination (or disparate impact) concerns the application of the same rule to everyone, even though that rule significantly disadvantages one particular group in society. Ever since its recognition by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1971, liberal democracies around the world have grappled with the puzzle that it can sometimes be unfair and wrong to treat everyone equally. The law's regulation of private acts that unintentionally (but disproportionately) harm vulnerable groups has remained extremely controversial, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. In original essays in this volume, leading scholars of discrimination law from North America and Europe explore the various facets of the law on indirect discrimination, interrogating its foundations, history, legitimacy, purpose, structure, and relationship with other legal concepts. The collection provides the first international work devoted to this vital area of the law that seeks both to prevent unfair treatment and to transform societies

Une séparation conjugale, la location d'un appartement, les relations de travail ou encore les démarches auprès des administrations sont encadrées par des règles juridiques. Dans ces situations, comment le droit est-il mobilisé, évité, contourné ou contesté au quotidien par les juges, les avocat es, les agent es des administrations, les militant es ou encore par celles et ceux qui n'ont aucune compétence juridique particulière ? Ce manuel est une introduction au vaste champ de la sociologie du droit et de la justice. Il prend pour fil conducteur l'articulation entre le droit et les inégalités sociales, qu'elles soient liées au statut socio-économique, à l'âge, au genre, à l'origine, à l'état de santé, aux statuts sociaux ou à la construction sociale de la race. Concret et étayé, ce livre présente un grand nombre d'enquêtes qui étudient les usages du droit en mettant l'accent sur les rapports de pouvoir et de domination qui les sous-tendent.

"This book examines how deep structural racism embedded in the fabric of American society leads to worse health outcomes and lower life expectancy for people of color. By presenting evidence of discrimination in housing, education, employment, and the criminal justice system, Dayna Bowen Matthew shows how racial inequality pervades American society and the multitude of ways that this undermines the health of minority populations. The author provides a path forward for overcoming these massive barriers to health and ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthy. She encourages health providers to take a leading role in the fight to dismantle the structural inequities their patients face."--
