Recenzje

'In her work on race matters, Anne-Marie Cotter has produced an excellently researched and thorough examination of the legal background to race matters in several key legal jurisdictions. Ms Cotter's work is a must for all practitioners and other persons interested in the legal development of race matters in any jurisdiction.' John Darby, McEvoy Partners, Dublin, UK 'This book will undoubtedly further greater understanding of race discrimination internationally and readers interested in this topic will derive considerable benefit from it.' Anthony Moore, Barrister, Four Courts, Dublin, UK 'Race Matters, where matters is a noun and not a verb, makes an optimistic argument, through the use of legal historical narratives, that inequality due to racial matters may be diminished through a framework of targeted legislation and judicial implementation and enforcement. Such a framework leads to greater equality among racial groups.' Professor Laurence Nolan, Howard University School of Law, USA
