Marie Mercat-Bruns, a Franco-American scholar, examines the differences in how the two countries approach discrimination. Bringing together prominent legal scholars--including Robert Post, Linda Krieger, Martha Minow, Reva Siegel, Susan Sturm, Richard Ford, and others- -Mercat-Bruns demonstrates how the two nations have adopted divergent strategies. The United States continues, with mixed success at "colorblind" policies, to deal with issues of diversity in university enrollment, class action sex-discrimination lawsuits, and rampant police violence against African American men and women. In France, the country has banned the full-face veil while making efforts to present itself as a secular republic. Young men and women whose parents and grandparents came from sub-Sahara and North Africa are stuck coping with a society that fails to take into account the barriers to employment and education they face. Discrimination at Work provides an incisive comparative analysis of how the nature of discrimination in both countries has changed, now often hidden, or steeped in deep unconscious bias. While it is rare for employers in both countries to openly discriminate, deep systemic discrimination exists, rooted in structural and environmental causes and the ways each state has dealt with difference in general. Invigorating and incisive, the book examines hot-button issues of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and equality for LGBT individuals, delivering comparisons meant to further social equality and fundamental human rights across borders"--Provided by publisher. 546 Translated from the French. 588 Description based on Luminos online resource, viewed May 5, 2016; title from PDF title page. 650 0 Discrimination in employment|xLaw and legislation |vInterviews. 650 0 Lawyers|zUnited States|vInterviews. 650 0 Discrimination in employment|xLaw and legislation|zUnited States. 650 0 Discrimination in employment|xLaw and legislation|zFrance. 650 0 Discrimination in employment|xLaw and legislation |zEuropean Union countries. 650 7 Discrimination in employment|xLaw and legislation.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00895060 650 7 Lawyers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.|2bisacsh 651 7 Europe|zEuropean Union countries.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01269470 651 7 France.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Interviews.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423832 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 700 1 Holt, Elaine|c(Translator),|etranslator. 776 08 |iPrint version:|w(DLC) 2015038337|z9780520283800 830 0 Luminos (University of California Press) 994 C0|bSTJ
