Abstract

In dit boek wordt het concept 'gelijke kansen' en het gelijkekansenbeleid dat daarop gebaseerd is in Groot-Brittannie, doorgelicht voor drie onderscheiden categorieën : vrouwen, etnische minderheden en gehandicapten. Ondanks de onderlinge verschillen in discriminatie en uitsluiting hebben deze drie groepen met elkaar gemeen dat ze uiterst gevoelig zijn voor veranderingen op het terrein van sociale voorzieningen. Een vijftal domeinen worden bekeken : onderwijs, werkgelegenheid, gezondheidszorg, welzijnswerk en wonen.

Abstract

This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as education, work and employment, residential concentration, political mobilisation, public policy and social networks, while drawing larger lessons about the meaning of race and inequality in the two countries. While finding that there are important similarities in the experience of ethnic, and especially immigrant, groups in the two countries, the volume also concludes that the differences between the US and UK, especially in the case of American blacks, are equally important.
