Through the door,up the stairs

Abstract

In light of the upsurge in interest for religion or belief in conjunction with equality in law, policy and political discourse, this review article looks at two recent additions to the steadily growing literature relating to the intersection of religion and equality, in particular with regard to the British scene: Equality. The New Legal Framework by Bob Hepple and Ethnic, Racial and Religious Inequalities. The Perils of Subjectivity by Marie Macey and Alan Carling. This review article brings out the inherent dialogue between the two works with regard to a number of reforms under the UK Equality Act 2010, including whether this Act signifies a shift away from the politics of single identities towards the politics of fundamental human rights.
