Sommario/riassunto

Written for historians and legal specialists alike, this book reveals the stories behind the laws of 1950s England and Wales. Drawing on a range of fascinating case studies, it examines the social, political and economic contexts surrounding the considerable breadth of legal developments in the decade, and throws new light on current debates about the relationship between law, inclusion and equality in different spheres of activity.
