Book Description
Charles McClain's illuminating new study probes Chinese efforts to battle manifold discrimination--in housing, employment, and education--in nineteenth-century America. Challenging the stereotypical image of a passive, insular group, McClain reveals a politically savvy population capable of mobilizing to fight mistreatment. He draws on English- and Chinese-language documents and rarely studied sources to chronicle the ways the Chinese sought redress and change in American courts.
McClain focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area, the home of almost one-fifth of the fifty thousand Chinese working in California in 1870. He cites cases in which Chinese laundrymen challenged the city of San Francisco's discriminatory building restrictions, and lawsuits brought by parents to protest the exclusion of Chinese children from public schools. While vindication in the courtroom did not always bring immediate change (Chinese schoolchildren in San Francisco continued to be segregated well into the twentieth century), the Chinese community's efforts were instrumental in establishing several legal landmarks.
In their battles for justice, the Chinese community helped to clarify many judicial issues, including the parameters of the Fourteenth Amendment and the legal meanings of nondiscrimination and equality. Discussing a wide range of court cases and gleaning their larger constitutional significance, In Search of Equality brings to light an important chapter of American cultural and ethnic history. It should attract attention from American and legal historians, ethnic studies scholars, and students of California culture. ... Read more

Book Description
This book argues that traditional complaint-basedantidiscrimination laws are inherently inadequate to respond to systemicdiscrimination in employment. It examines the mechanisms andcharacteristics of systemic discrimination and the shortcomings ofcomplaint-based laws. Yet these characteristics can also inform employersand government authorities of the kinds of preventive action that helpalleviate systemic discrimination at the workplace.

In its search for a rational government policy response to systemicdiscrimination, the book evaluates selected legal regimes which imposeproactive obligations on employers to promote equality at the workplace.Proactive regimes are regulatory in nature, rather than adjudicatory. Theyinduce employer compliance through technical assistance, dialogue andregulatory pressure, rather than court orders. By examining the keyelements of these regimes the author explains why some proactive regimesfunction better than others, and why proactive regimes function better thancomplaint-based laws in addressing systemic discrimination. ...

Book Description
Who are the real citizens of America? Which people truly qualify for equality under the law? Two hundred years ago, an honest answer to these questions would have excluded not only women, slaves, and Indians, but also Germans, Scotch-Irish, Catholics, and Jews. Yet the Declaration of Independence expresses a profound commitment to the ideal of equal citizenship. Throughout their history Americans have simultaneously believed in equality and accepted the subordination of groups of people--and both views have been reflected in American law.In this lively and original book a leading constitutional law scholar shows how American law has both reflected and defined what it means to be an American, to "belong to America." Kenneth L. Karst shows that the ideal of equal citizenship has long been a vital part of the culture of American public life, and tells a powerful story about how the idea of equality has developed in America, providing courtroom examples that range from Dred Scott to Brown versus Board of Education, from affimative action to gender discrimination, and from the treatment of American Indians to the status of Christianity. Karst explores the psychological impact of discrimination on those who have been its victims--who, in one way or another, have been told by society that they do not belong. And he argues that the principle of equal citizenship can and should guide the nation's future just as it has shaped its past. ... Read more

From the supplier: The European Union is struggling with its legal approach to the migration of third country nationals within member states. The Amsterdam Treaty gives the Community wider ranging powers concerning the movement of third country nationals, but these people continue to have less freedom of movement than other nationals due to the exercise of discretion by member states. This situation violates fundamental approaches of the European Union concerning the supremacy of European rights over national discretion.
