Making the case for non-discrimination laws
A readable and closely argued guide to thinking about the means and ends of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of particular group characteristics such as race, gender, or sexuality.This book is a needed weapon against the angry-white-male demagogues who love to exploit the public's lack of understanding about why such laws exist, how they work, and why they're needed. Incidentally, one of Koppelman's important contributions as a scholar is his persuasive exposition of why discrimination against lesbians and gay men should be viewed under the law as a form of *gender* discrimination, in that it reinforces a hierarchy of gender-related roles and taboos -- the same hierarchy that laws protecting the rights of women were intended to demolish.

Antidiscrimination Law by Koppelman
Koppelman provides a useful discussion of the law of antidiscrimination,but he provides something more to both the lawyer and nonlawyer reader. His analyses of various social justice theories and the philosophies andconcepts surrounding the politics and law of antidiscrimination lawchallenge the reader to re-examine the limits and potential ofantidiscrimination law.He also explores in new and provocative waysaffirmative action, as well as First Amendment free speech concepts asapplied to women's issues and hate speech.This is an enormously importantwork for both the serious student and critic of social justice. ...

An insightful multi-disciplinary perspective
In his first full-length book, Alexander Tsesis, a professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law, liberates the discussion about hate speech from the realm of pure legal theory.Instead, he brings to the debate historical and psychological perspectives that lead to a broader understanding of this issue.

Editorial Review

Nolo Press legal guides provide useful and accurate information on how to manage your own affairs or, failing this, how to hire a lawyer and negotiate the court system. The rapid changes in gay and lesbian life in the past 30 years have not been reflected in the legal codes of most states, and without enforceable written agreements, gay and lesbian people may find such crucial matters as inheritance, legal guardianship, child custody, and support left to the whim of a judge or state agency. As the writers of this volume (first published in 1980) point out, "married couples' relationships are defined by law," while lesbian and gay couples have the freedom--and responsibility--to create their own legal relationships. Agreements drawn up in advance provide guidance for a time when all is not moonbeams and madness. Tear-out forms and sample documents are included. Read more

A great contestation of the liminalities
Professor Colker is a bisexual woman with a wandering eye.Being not-quite lesbian, and not-quite disabled has pushed her to ask questions about the murkiness of categorization.In this book, she dedicates a chapter to the "bi's" of race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability.This is mainly a legal text, but I think non-legal readers will still be entertained.I wasn't bowled over by this book, but I think it is great that someone is speaking of multiracials and bisexuals in the same breath and looking at the grey areas across categories.This book is a must have for various "bi" activists. ...
