Organized, coherent material that should be standard reading

If anyone has ever tried to make clear the the foundations of employment discrimination law, Donohue cuts them to dust. His brilliant piece is more than just a clever name. Although it is unfortunate that his affable sense of humor takes a back seat, he still manages to grip the reader with his exceptional analyses and pertinant data. I would recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the field of employment discrimination law. In fact, it should be standard reading in every law school across the country. No library or bookstore worth its salt is complete without this book.

Good summary to academic commentary on employment law

The proliferation of employment discrimination law since 1964 -- such as Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act -- has resulted in a steady increase in the "market share" of litigation devoted to such issues. While the nature of the legal disputes in employment cases is not on an intellectual par with, say constitutional disputes, it is nevertheless complex and at times fascinating. The nation's continuing grapples with affirmative action, for example, demonstrate that there are serious issues that underlie what may seem to be the simple situation of a fired employee.This book is a compilation of excerpts from law review articles or books authored by prominent scholars in the area. The main focus is on race-based and sex-based discrimination, and a variety of viewpoints (i.e., "liberal" and "conservative") is presented.Note that this book will NOT teach you how to present (or defend) your own employment discrimination lawsuit. It is not intended to be a practical guide to litigation. Rather, it is an introduction to the theoretical aspects of employment law. If that is what you are interested in, this is a good place to start.
