This open access short reader provides a state of the art overview
of the discrimination research field, with particular focus on
discrimination against immigrants and their descendants. It covers
the ways in which discrimination is defined and conceptualized, how
it is measured, how it may be theorized and explained, and how it
might be combated by legal and policy means. The book also presents
empirical results from studies of discrimination across the world
to show the magnitude of the problem and the difficulties of
comparison across national borders. The concluding chapter engages
in a critical discussion of the relationship between discrimination
and integration as well as pointing out promising directions for
future studies. As such this short reader is a valuable read to
undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, scholars,
policy makers and the general public.
Using data from the Integration of the Second Generation in Europe
survey, this timely study focuses on the second generation of
immigrants from Turkey and former Yugoslavia in Switzerland. A
common thread running through the various chapters is a comparison
with previous research on Switzerland concerning the second
generation of Italian and Spanish origin. The authors provide
valuable insights into the current situation of the children of
Turkish and Yugoslav immigrants while underlining the historical
similarities and differences of their respective incorporation
processes.
