| Abstract | "This book addresses one of the most serious societal questions of our time; namely how forms of minority recognition can be articulated in the law, institutions, and contemporary societal contexts. By so doing it approaches minority rights by means of a critical engagement with the law and its categorisations. Going further, it approaches collective recognition by means of distinct rights, including participation and free speech as well as the challenges arising with related conflicts of rights. Some chapters address intersectional forms of discrimination, illustrating the complexities of societal exclusion and the hopes placed in the law accommodating a multiplicity of grounds of discrimination. Drawing on empirical findings in Europe and Latin America, the book draws theoretical conclusions and new frameworks of recognition. A fascinating study on one of the key questions engaging human rights and discrimination law."-- Provided by publisher. |
