In this revised and updated edition, Neil Thompson presents a clear and accessible analysis of the complexities of discrimination and oppression and the challenges of making equality practice a reality. Critical of the orthodoxies and over-simplications of "political correctness", "Promoting Equality" combines analysis and understanding of theory with practice examples and insights. Promoting equality and valuing diversity, this book should be of value to students, practitioners, managers and educators in a variety of professions and settings concerned with people and their problems.
