Produktbeschreibung

In unintended ways, law reforms that pursue equality may in fact harm their intended beneficiaries or worsen the disadvantage of other groups. Tackling these important issues beyond the boundaries that often confine legal scholarship, this book conducts an interdisciplinary consideration of efforts to advance equality. It explores the developments, challenges, and consequences that arise from law reforms aiming to deliver equality in the areas of sexuality, kinship, and family relations. With an international array of contributors, After Legal Equality: Family, Sex, Kinship will be an invaluable resource for those with interests in this area.
