Sovereignty Under Challenge: How Governments Respond
ISBN: 9780765801401 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sovereignty-the authority of a state to wield ultimate power over its territory, its citizens, its institutions-is everywhere undergoing change as states respond in various ways to the challenges posed, from above and below. "Above" the state is the widening net of international institutions and treaties dealing with human rights, trade, investment, and monetary affairs; and "below" it are rising claims within states from long-resident groups discontented with the political order and from new migrants testing its authority. Sovereignty under Challenge deals with a range of such...

Affirmative Discrimination: Ethnic Inequality and Public Policy
ISBN: 9780674007307 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Should government try to remedy persistent racial and ethnic inequalities by establishing and enforcing quotas and other statistical goals? Here is one of the most incisive books ever written on this difficult issue. Nathan Glazer surveys the civil rights tradition in the United States; evaluates public policies in the areas of employment, education, and housing; and questions the judgment and wisdom of their underlying premises--their focus on group rights, rather than individual rights. Such policies, he argues, are ineffective, unnecessary, and politically destructive of harmonious...

Ethnicity: Theory and Experience
ISBN: 9780674268562 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume launches a far-reaching exploration into the meaning, manifestations, and significance of ethnicity in modern society and politics. The authors seek neither to celebrate nor to deplore ethnicity, but rather to examine it as a basis of social organization which in modern societies has achieved a significance comparable to that of social class. Ethnicity indicates that minority groups around the world are no longer doing what society for hundreds of years has expected them to do--assimilate, disappear, or endure as exotic, troublesome survivors. Instead, their numbers... This volume launches a far-reaching exploration into the meaning, manifestations, and significance of ethnicity in modern society and politics. The... |

The last two decades have been the most turbulent for American racial and ethnic relations since Reconstruction.

We Are All Multiculturalists Now
ISBN: 9780674948365 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The melting pot is no more. Where not very long ago we sought assimilation, we now pursue multiculturalism. Nowhere has this transformation been more evident than in the public schools, where a traditional Eurocentric curriculum has yielded to diversity--and, often, to confrontation and confusion. In a book that brings clarity and reason to this highly charged issue, Nathan Glazer explores these sweeping changes. He offers an incisive account of why we all--advocates and skeptics alike--have become multiculturalists, and what this means for national unity, civil society, and the education...
