Reseña del editor:

Employment discrimination, far from being an exceptional event, may occur quite frequently. It persists as a fact of life, less the product of evil intention than a residual effect of social history. While the insult to human dignity may be greater when prejudice is more old-fashioned and explicit, the economic consequences to the victims of discrimination are the same. Scholars are integrating this insight into their work at the same time that the organization of work itself is changing, and with it the opportunities for discriminating and resisting discrimination. Thus, the work of ending employment discrimination is changing rather than ending. This ground-breaking study of the and#8220;inner workingsand#8221; of workplace discrimination honors the pioneering work of the late David Charny. Drawing on recent insights in such disciplines as social psychology and neuroscience, fifteen distinguished legal scholars explore the implications of these and other findings for various areas of employment policy and activity, including:

and#8226; affirmative action;

and#8226; sexual harassment

and#8226; diversity policy;

and#8226; antidiscrimination liability schema;

and#8226; and#8220;best practicesand#8221; initiatives;

and#8226; the and#8220;ecologyand#8221; of the workplace; and

and#8226; employment discrimination litigation

The insightful contributions, often discomforting and even startling, offer valuable insights and sometimes workable solutions to the deep problems of stereotyping, bias, prejudice, and discrimination that continue to plague todayand#8217;s workplaces . The volume will be welcomed by anyone, academic or practitioner, committed to checking and halting the corrosive effects of workplace discrimination on our social fabric.
