Concepts and Insights: Federal Employment Discrimination

Description

Part of the Concepts and Insights series, this paperback book provides a concise, painless, well-organized discussion to provide you with a solid understanding of employment discrimination and help you review for exams. This book provides a critical introduction to the increasingly complex field of employment discrimination law — examining the law from three perspective that have exercised a pervasive influence over its development: An historical perspective that emphasizes the legislative history and the immediate historical context surrounding passage of the laws against employment discrimination; an economic perspective that emphasizes the overall efficiency of disputed employment practices and of the justifications offered for them; and a remedial perspective that seeks to eliminate all forms of continuing discrimination and the persistent effects of past discrimination.
