| Summary: | Ssekasozi provides an ontological ethical foundation for the legal analysis on affirmative action, arguing that there is a fine ethical distinction between human rights and civil rights in practice and that, where discrimination is "categorical" in nature, a "categorical" solution is required. Chapters include a review of the literature; a summary of relevant legal documents; a detailed philosophical explication of the problem; and discussion of types of discrimination, with conclusions and directions for future research.
