• Sommario/riassunto: This volume, edited by Melanie Kreitler and Greta Olson, examines the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections on diversity issues through transnational perspectives. It explores how political rhetoric, media, and legal norms influence the negotiation of diversity, with specific focus on ethnicity, migration, gender, LGBTQIA+ rights, and environmental politics. Contributors analyze the intersection of right-wing populism, structural barriers, and global implications of U.S. policies. The book highlights the role of media literacy and legal education in addressing systemic inequalities and fostering inclusivity. Intended for scholars, policymakers, and those engaged in diversity studies, the work provides critical insights into the sociopolitical challenges and opportunities related to diversity in the U.S. and beyond.
