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. 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation$zFrance 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation 676 $a344.01/398133 700 $aMercat-Bruns$b Marie$0918234 702 $aKutz$b Christopher 702 $aHolt$b Elaine$c(Translator) 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 912 $a9910136392403321 996 $aDiscrimination at work$92058874 997 $aUNINA
