Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Cloth hardcover, printed in the USA, x + 231 pages, NOT ex-library. Untanned interior; pencil marks in text & pencil underlining, else clean. Firm secure binding. Boards show minor handling wear, a barcode sticker and partially removed price sticker on the back. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Written by authorities on the legal systems of France, Britain, Germany, the United States, Israel, and Canada, this book explores the growing confrontation between democracy and racist incitement. The authors consider existing and prospective laws as they trace the efforts to enact and enforce laws that can curb racism in the early stages of its growth without violating democratic freedoms. Throughout the book, the authors discuss their own legal and political cultures and how the subject countries are affected by historical encounters with racism. Both France and Britain have strong racist political forces and existing laws to combat them. Special attention is given to Le Pen, whose electoral support has been estimated nationally at more than twenty percent, and to the effect Britain's new legislation has had on the country's racist movement. The United States represents a case where strong constitutional guarantees against impingement upon freedom of expression have prevented the passage or juridical validation of laws restricting racist incitement. Israel finds itself struggling to define a legal remedy that can be used against racist incitement by the Kahane movement. Canada, now seeking a legal climate that will foster multiculturalism, strives to define laws against incitement that will be consistent with its newly established Charter of Freedom. And Germany, as it faces the enormous problems resulting from unification, is forced to reflect upon its own past and the challenges that an active racist movement poses for the country's future. Recommended for sociologists, political scientists, and criminal law specialists. -- Contents: Introduction; Under the Shadow of Weimar: What Are the Lessons for the Modern Democracies? / Cyril Levitt; French Law and Racial Incitement: On the Necessity and Limits of the Legal Responses / Roger Errera; Incitement to Racial Hatred in England / Avrom Sherr; Judicial Treatment of Incitement against Ethnic Groups and the Denial of National Socialist Mass Murder in the Federal Republic of Germany / Juliane Wetzel; Racial Incitement Law and Policy in the United States: Drawing the Line Between Free Speech and Protection against Racism / Donald A.
