Covering

Everyone faces the pressure to cover, downplaying traits that might set them apart, which is often viewed as a normal part of social life. However, Kenji Yoshino challenges this perspective by revealing how the demand to cover can threaten civil rights, as marginalized groups are often pressured to conceal or alter their identities in various ways. Through a detailed analysis, he argues that civil rights law has overlooked the harms caused by these demands for conformity. The audiobook emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues to achieve true equality and civil rights.
