Product Description
The thesis focuses on the efficacy of some of the steps being taken in South Africa to overcome racial inequality. It examines the legal framework the country has put in place and how well that is being implemented in practice under the new constitution between 1996 - 2000. Given that inequality is so widespread, an emphasis is being placed on some representative areas such as political rights, education and employment.Achieving racial equality involves time and efficient affirmative action measures. However, institutions took longer to be set up than had been anticipated and the courts have problems establishing a strong and coherent body of equality jurisprudence. The majority of white people continue to hold the economic power.There is still need for more clarity. South Africa needs a strong body of case law to support not only the victims of racial discrimination but also the courts in their dealing with it. It also needs to promote equality efficiently through the training programmes in order to achieve more representation in management positions. ... Read more

From the supplier: Four crises have hindered the resolution of the problem of racial inequality in the US. These are the crisis of denial about racism in the country, the difficulties facing liberalism and the nation-state, the global, racial divide and the identity crisis in the anti-racist movement. An equality movement that does not distinguish among oppressions such as ethnicity, race or gender but which capitalizes on the strengths of a multidimensioal struggle is thus imperative.

Product Description

In 2000, the European Union adopted a Directive against discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin. This book provides an in-depth evaluation of the Race Directive and its effects, questioning how successful the Race directive has been.

The EU Race Directive discusses the history of the fight against racial discrimination in the EU and the equality clauses in international Human Rights instruments. It then examines the terms race, racism and racial discrimination and equality in the Directive. The book also looks at the concepts of equality which can be distinguished in the Race Directive and in the subsequent developments at EU level. Examining whether the Directive has improved the protection against racial or ethnic origin discrimination for people within the EU, the book concludes with an assessment of how far the EU has come on the road to racial equality with the adoption of the Race Directive and the subsequent developments. It also contains proposals for possible improvements. The comprehensive and up-to-date analysis in this book goes beyond most other books written on the subject and the specific focus on racism and racial discrimination means a more thorough examination than most texts focusing on discrimination on a larger number of grounds.

This book will be of great value to students and academics in (European) law, social sciences and human rights, researching racism, racial discrimination, ethnicity and race relations. It will also be useful for policy makers.

Making the case for non-discrimination laws
A readable and closely argued guide to thinking about the means and ends of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of particular group characteristics such as race, gender, or sexuality.This book is a needed weapon against the angry-white-male demagogues who love to exploit the public's lack of understanding about why such laws exist, how they work, and why they're needed. Incidentally, one of Koppelman's important contributions as a scholar is his persuasive exposition of why discrimination against lesbians and gay men should be viewed under the law as a form of *gender* discrimination, in that it reinforces a hierarchy of gender-related roles and taboos -- the same hierarchy that laws protecting the rights of women were intended to demolish.

Antidiscrimination Law by Koppelman
Koppelman provides a useful discussion of the law of antidiscrimination,but he provides something more to both the lawyer and nonlawyer reader. His analyses of various social justice theories and the philosophies andconcepts surrounding the politics and law of antidiscrimination lawchallenge the reader to re-examine the limits and potential ofantidiscrimination law.He also explores in new and provocative waysaffirmative action, as well as First Amendment free speech concepts asapplied to women's issues and hate speech.This is an enormously importantwork for both the serious student and critic of social justice. ...

Definitive account of a modern civil rights struggle
Carol M Allen's book, "Ending Racial Preferences: The Michigan Story will be the definitive treatment of the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI). With 422 pages and nearly 600 footnotes, Ms. Allen a research specialist in the Political Science Department at Michigan State University, has carefully documented the campaign which resulted in a 2006 amendment to the Michigan State Constitution banning racial and gender preferences in public employment, education and contracting. It was supported by 58% of the voters.
The story is an exciting one of near misses, ballot challenges, court cases, and scurrilous tactics. These initiative are coming to other states and readers interested in this issue could do no better than to read "Ending Racial Preferences."

Product Description
The European Union has committed itself to combating racism as a general objective of law and policy. EU legislation requires Member States to introduce laws prohibiting racial discrimination in many aspects of everyday life, including employment, education, healthcare, and housing. Alongside legislation requiring action at national level, the EU institutions have also made periodic commitments to 'mainstream' racial equality: taking anti-racism objectives into account within all areas of EU law and policy.

This book analyses the extent to which the objectives of combating racism and promoting ethnic equality have been effectively mainstreamed throughout a wide range of EU policy fields. It begins by considering what combating racism means in the contemporary context of the enlarged EU. Bell explores what mainstreaming ethnic equality objectives entails, and whether the priorities and instruments differ from those adopted in the earlier mainstreaming of gender equality, or those used on other discrimination grounds. The second part of the book examines the extent to which EU law and policy objectives have, in practice, been integrated, exploring the effects in the key areas of employment, social inclusion (including education, health and housing), immigration, and criminal law. ...

Product Description

Today's lingering inequalities, particularly the "American dilemma" of racism, runs throughout U.S. history. Equal Protection provides readers with a historical overview of the controversies over the issue of equality, an understanding of how government-and, particularly, the courts and Congress-has reacted to these controversies, and the role these issues have played in shaping U.S. society.

This volume follows the push for equal treatment regardless of age, gender, disabilities, economic status, or sexual orientation. It focuses on legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, and political initiatives and movements such as The Great Society, the ERA, and the War on Poverty. Here are American's interpretations of equal rights, then and now.

Promoting Equality and Diversity: A Practitioner's Guide explains the fundamental changes in the approach to achieving equality and diversity that are occuring as a result of recent UK legislation. The work takes a task-based approach to the subject, suggesting legal solutions to discrete practical problems, and providing clear, pragmatic guidance to enable practitioners to tackle the individual problems they might encounter.

This book provides a clear and practical explanation of both good practice and the legislation behind the new proactive approach that is being adopted. It covers areas that receive no treatment elsewhere and offers guidance to organizations that want to implement equality measures but are unsure of how to do so. This book not only explains the relevant legal concepts but also offers real practical advice on topics such as how to carry out impact statements; how to carry out equality pay audits; and the role of monitoring.

By adopting a task-based approach, focusing on what organizations have to deal with in practice, this work is able to offer a fully-integrated legal analysis of current discrimination law that will be of use to every practitioner working in this field. By combining a traditional legal approach with examples, checklists, and precedents the authors have produced a book that is both highly useful and extremely readable. ... Read more
