Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Intolerance and discrimination has existed since the beginning of society and remains a major political issue around the world to this day. Whether racial, sexual, gender, religious or otherwise, discrimination continues to affect the day to day life of countless people. This book examines the many faces of discrimination including, but not limited to: racism, sexism, religious intolerance and many others. Instances of legally sanctioned discrimination are examined as well as anti-discrimination legislation. Discriminator acts including religious persecution and hate crimes are also discussed. Finally, we examine three significant movements for equal rights: the civil rights, women's rights and LGBT rights movements.
