Regulating Micro-aggressions
The Legal Challenge of Everyday Bias
Paperback Engels 2026 9789004757516Samenvatting
Have you ever felt the "daily pinpricks" of subtle bias? This book investigates if legal systems should dismiss micro-aggressions as trivialities, or recognise their cumulative harm to the dignity of vulnerable groups. A global survey, from Canada and Germany to Namibia and South Africa, reveals how courts often ignore "small" slights, and where existing judgments hold promise to meaningfully address these slights. We argue that dismissing these moments entrenches systemic exclusion. Our solution lies in multi-layered law reform. We propose reform of tort law to recognise micro-aggressions, mandatory equality plans and education to foster a kind and caring society. Read this to discover how law can dismantle everyday indignities and protect substantive equality.
