Migrants, Ethnic Minorities and the Labour Market - Integration and Exclusion in Europe (Hardcover): John Wrench, Andrea Rea,... Migrants, Ethnic Minorities and the Labour Market - Integration and Exclusion in Europe (Hardcover)
John Wrench, Andrea Rea, Nouria Ouali
R2,886 Discovery Miles 28 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book examines racial and ethnic discrimination in the labour markets and workplaces of western Europe. Scholars from ten different countries set out the experience and implications of this exclusion for two main groups: the more established second and third generations of postwar migrant descent, and the 'new' migrants, including seasonal and undocumented workers and refugees, who are vulnerable to extreme exploitation and unregulated working environments. The book finishes by addressing the implications of these issues for trade unions and employers in Europe.

Diversity Management and Discrimination - Immigrants and Ethnic Minorities in the EU (Paperback): John Wrench Diversity Management and Discrimination - Immigrants and Ethnic Minorities in the EU (Paperback)
John Wrench
R1,365 Discovery Miles 13 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

What can diversity management offer those concerned with ethnic inequality, racial discrimination, and issues of social and economic inclusion and exclusion? In this book John Wrench traces the emergence of diversity management in the US in the late 1980s, and explores its subsequent development in Europe. He outlines the various critiques of diversity management that have been suggested both by academics and equality activists and highlights recent issues and trends that should be monitored by those concerned with racial and ethnic equality in employment. In particular, Wrench examines whether diversity management can be seen as a 'soft option' in terms of combating racism and discrimination, or instead, a new way of mainstreaming anti-discrimination measures. He also addresses the important question of whether the development of diversity management in Europe will follow a relatively uniform trajectory because of common demographic, economic and market pressures, or whether the historical, cultural and institutional differences which exist between EU countries, and between the EU and the US, will have a determining impact on the adoption, content and operation of this particular management practice.

Racism and Migration in Western Europe (Paperback, New edition): John Solomos, John Wrench Racism and Migration in Western Europe (Paperback, New edition)
John Solomos, John Wrench
R1,658 Discovery Miles 16 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In contemporary European societies the question of racism, linked to the politicisation of migration, is a major issue in social and political debate. Developments in a number of European societies have highlighted the volatility of this phenomenon and the ease with which racist and extreme-right political movements can mobilise around the question of immigration and opposition to cultural pluralism. The situation in countries as divergent as the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and various Scandinavian societies shows evidence of mounting racism and hostility to migrants. This volume provides a critical overview of the processes that have led to the present situation and explores some of the options for the future. Contents: Part I: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives J. Solomos and J. Wrench, Race and Racism in Contemporary Europe S.

Equal Opportunities and Ethnic Inequality in European Labour Markets - Discrimination, Gender and Policies of Diversity... Equal Opportunities and Ethnic Inequality in European Labour Markets - Discrimination, Gender and Policies of Diversity (Paperback)
Karen Kraal, Judith Roosblad, John Wrench
R1,319 Discovery Miles 13 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The need to analyse labour market mechanisms in post-industrial Western societies is urgent. Despite laws and policy measures being developed at the European, national and local levels, job-seeking immigrants and ethnic minorities still suffer unequal access and ethnic discrimination. This volume endeavours to understand why. Four chapters dealing with discrimination, gender, equity policies and diversity management present a lively discussion of the current scientific debate. Besides providing empirical evidence, the authors recommend methods for conducting further research in the field and evaluate the actual effects of discrimination-combating policies. One conclusion is that systematic analysis of the labour market and its subsequent equity policies must be supported by hard data, such as statistics. With its state-of-the-art scope and unique thematic exploration, this volume transfers knowledge from social science studies to a more operational realm. From here, both scholars and practitioners can help make equal opportunities more accessible than ever.
