The member states of the EU have only very recently begun to
consider race and racism in the framework of equality legislation
and policies. As opposed to an established Anglo-Saxon tradition of
naming races and using racial categorisation to fight racism, most
continental European countries resist this approach. This book
investigates the problematic reception and elaboration of race as a
socio-legal category in Europe. Fighting Discrimination in Europe
takes a fresh and interdisciplinary look at the normative,
theoretical and concrete problems raised by the challenge of
devising and enforcing policies to combat race discrimination in
Europe. It engages with the juridical and political spheres, from
the international level down to concrete cases of state and city
policies. As the multifaceted relationship between race,
discrimination and immigration is explored, new normative positions
and practical approaches are developed, and new questions raised.
This collection presents important new research for academics,
researchers, and advanced students of Ethnic Studies, Migration
Studies, Legal Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, and Policy
Studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Ethnic and Racial Studies.
We are used to thinking of human rights as a matter for state
governments to deal with. Much less investigated is the question of
what cities do with them, even though urban communities and
municipalities have been discussing human rights for quite some
time. In this volume, Grigolo borrows the concept of 'the human
rights city' to invite us to think about a new urban utopia: a
place where human rights strive to guide urban life. By turning the
question of the meaning and use of human rights in cities into the
object of critical investigation, this book tracks the genesis,
institutionalisation and implementation of human rights in cities,
focussing on New York, San Francisco and Barcelona. Touching also
upon matters such as women's rights, LGBT rights and migrant
rights, The Human Rights City emphasises how human rights can serve
urban justice but also a neoliberal practice of the city. This book
is a useful resource for scholars and students interested in fields
such as Sociology of Human Rights, Sociology of Law, International
Law, Urban Sociology, Political Sociology and Social Policies.

Cities increasingly base their local policies on human rights.
Human rights cities promise to forge new alliances between urban
actors and international organizations, to enable the 'translation'
of the abstract language of human rights to the local level, and to
develop new practices designed to bring about global urban justice.
This book brings together academics and practitioners at the
forefront of human rights cities and the 'right to the city'
movement to critically discuss their history and also the potential
that human rights cities hold for global urban justice.
