Race Matters: An International Legal Analysis of Race Discrimination

Overview

Exploring the key legal issues in combating race discrimination, Race Matters provides readers with a detailed understanding of the issue of inequality. At its heart is an aim to increase the likelihood of achieving racial equality at both the national and international levels – in so doing it examines the primary role of legislation and its impact on the court process. It also discusses the two most important trade agreements of our day – the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Union Treaty – in a historical and compelling analysis of racial discrimination. By providing a detailed examination of the relationship between race and the law, the book will be an important resource for those concerned with equality.
