If affirmative action and other ethnicity-based social programmes
are justified then, J. Angelo Corlett believes, it is important to
come to an adequate understanding of the nature of ethnicity in
general and ethnic group membership in particular. In this book,
Corlett reconceptualizes traditional ideas of race in terms of
ethnicity. As he makes clear, the answers to the questions what is
a Native American? or What is a Latino/a? have important
implications for public policy, especially for those programmes
designed to address historic injustices and economic and social
imbalances among different groups in our society. then analyses the
nature and function of racism. Corlett argues for a notion of
racism that must encompass not only racist beliefs but also racist
actions, omissions and attempted actions. His aim is to craft a
definition of racism that will prove useful in legal and public
policy contexts. for ethnic groups are desirable and what forms
those reparations should take: land, money, social programmes? He
addresses the need for differential affirmative action programmes
and reparations policies - the experiences (and oppressors) of
different ethnic groups vary greatly. Arguments for reparations to
Native and African Americans are considered in light of a variety
of objections that are or might be raised against them. Corlett
articulates and critically analyses a number of possible proposals
for reparations.
