In Europe as well as in other parts of the world, xenophobia and
racism are among the unsolved problems of the ending 20th century.
Globalization, mass migration and unemployment as well as the need
to invent new supra- or crossnational identities require new
political answers concerning the problems of inclusion and
exclusion.
In the United States and in Canada, 'affirmative action' programmes
are among those policies which are intended to redress the
injustice of discrimination based primarily on race, ethnicity,
sex, but also on national origin, religion, or disability.
This timely book is the first to present an overview of these hotly
debated questions and the anti-discrimination policies in different
countries. Experts from the United States, Canada and Europe
examine the historical, institutional, judicial and sociological
conditions of affirmative action and look at shifting concepts of
racism, equality, integration and assimilation. They address the
vital questions of whether policies originally created to increase
opportunities for African Americans can be applied in Europe;
whether the primary goal of 'affirmative action' should be to
correct injustice or to safeguard diversity; and whether the
democratic ideal of individual equality is at odds with what many
perceive as preferential treatment.
Moral success but political failure? Compensatory justice or
reverse discrimination? This important book evaluates more than
thirty years of affirmative action and helps to develop new
instruments to deal with the roots and the effects of
discrimination.
