Spheres of Injustice: The Ethical Promise of Minority Presence

By Bruno Perreau, the Cynthia L. Reed Professor of French Studies

MIT Press · 2025

How can the rights of minorities be protected in democracies? The question has been front and center in the U.S. since the Supreme Court's repeal of affirmative action. In Europe too, minority politics are being challenged. The very notion of "minority" is being questioned, while the notion of a "protected class" risks encouraging competition among minorities. In "Spheres of Injustice," Perreau demonstrates how we can make the fight against discrimination beneficial for all.
