Download or read book When Race Counts written by John Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Race Counts investigates the use of race-conscious practices in social policy in Britain and America. It questions the distinction between affirmative action and preferential treatment, and evaluates the effectiveness of a range of education and employment policies designed to counteract both unintended and direct discrimination against ethnic minorities. The book uses both empirical and moral analyses to examine the controversial dilemma of whether and in what circumstances preferential treatment may be used as a means of improving the condition of minority groups. John Edwards looks at justifications for overriding the merit principle, particularly in employment, and shows who bears the costs of such a policy, and where the benefits lie. He argues that the merit principle is in itself so flawed that to override it would cause no great damange to justice. He then sets out the requirements of an acceptable policy of minority preference tailored to the disadvantages of specific minority groups.

Download or read book Housing Race and Law written by Martin MacEwen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equality of opportunity in housing is a key issue in social justice in Britain today. To the extent that it patterns an individual's educational, social and economic development, housing constitutes a crucial battleground in the fight against racial discrimination. Housing, Race and Law is the first publication to examine the law in relation to issues of housing and race in both the private and public sector. It places these issues in the broader context of the development of anti-discrimination legislation, outlines the current legislation and examines its impact in relation to owner occupation, public housing, housing association tenancies and private lets. Throughout, the book emphasizes the practical impact of the various legislative provisions, and discusses the responses of the principle institutions from government departments and relevant professions to the Commission for Racial Equality and the Community Relations Councils (or Racial Equality Councils). It argues a case for a new approach to appraisal, review and enforcement. By collating material from a wide variety of sources, the author provides an original assessment of the Race Relations Act of 1976 and its impact on housing which, in its provision of cogent material and arguments for reforms, is designed to be of value to practitioners, academics and those concerned with racial discrimination.

Download or read book Multilingual Britain written by Michael Marland and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay and a report focus on the challenge to Britain's educational system posed by an increasingly multicultural and multilingual population. The essay, "Towards a Curriculum Policy for a Multilingual World," attempts to clarify the implications of multilingualism for the entire curriculum, for both curriculum design and administrative concerns. A 10-point plan of action is presented, indicating the need for teachers and other staff fluent in the community languages. The report, "The Education of Bilingual Learners: Towards a Coherent Policy," is the result of a working group on bilingual education within the Inner London Education Authority. Its sections address the following topics: racism, bilingual education, and the need for a policy for equality; a philosophy of bilingual education; the need for schools to keep in touch with the communities they serve; school-level issues of population mobility, placement, reception, orientation, and transfer; curriculum and instruction, guidance, and overall language policy; the needs of recent arrivals in the country; and resources. Appended materials include four bilingual curriculum models and comparisons with the systems of four other countries: the United States, Sweden, Bavaria, and Australia. An extensive bibliography (170 references) is included. The main bulk of the bibliography is a study bibliography prepared for use by the author and his colleagues. It is not complete and many of the books contain fuller bibliographies. These works are of some help in thinking about the curriculum for a multilingual world and the education of bilingual learners. Those which are exceptionally useful have an asterisk by them. (Author/MSE)
