ABSTRACT
Underpinning the arguments here is the acknowledgement that the social differentiations under consideration (gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and age) do not create homogenous groups … It has now become clear … that there is no longer, if ever, a uniform story of blanket disadvantage for any of these groups. Therefore, it is timely to acknowledge, confront, and deal with the actual problems of separate and relative deprivation, and sometimes conflicting experiences and interests, both between different categories of disadvantage and even within these categories themselves.
