520    "Do the United States and France, both post-industrial 
       democracies, differ in their views and laws concerning 
       discrimination? 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.
