That's a remarkable change from the Civil Rights era--but does this public commitment to diversity constitute a civil rights victory? What does diversity mean in contemporary America, and what are the effects of efforts to support it? This book digs deep into those questions, Drawing on six years of fieldwork and historical sources dating back to the 1950s and making extensive use of three case studies from widely varying arenas--housing redevelopment in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, affirmative action in the University of Michigan's admissions program, and the workings of the human resources department at a Fortune 500 company. Berrey explores the complicated, contradictory, and even troubling meanings and uses of diversity as it is invoked by different groups for different, often symbolic ends. In each case, diversity affirms inclusiveness, especially in the most coveted jobs and colleges, yet it resists fundamental change in the practices and cultures that are the foundation of social inequality. Berrey shows how this has led racial progress itself to be reimagined, transformed from a legal fight for fundamental rights to a celebration of the competitive advantages afforded by cultural differences. Powerfully argued and surprising in its conclusions, The Enigma of Diversity reveals the true cost of the public embrace of diversity: the taming of demands for racial justice. -- Publisher description Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 gnd Quotierung (DE-588)4203864-9 gnd Rassendiskriminierung (DE-588)4048442-7 gnd Vielfalt (DE-588)4312811-7 gnd Race discrimination fast Race relations fast Cultural pluralism fast Affirmative action programs fast Discrimination raciale rero Droits civils et politiques rero Multiculturalisme rero Programmes d'action positive rero Cultural pluralism United States Affirmative action programs United States Race discrimination United States Multiculturalisme (RERO)A021005208 rero Droits civils et politiques (RERO)A021020441 rero Discrimination raciale (RERO)A021009306 rero Programmes d'action positive (RERO)A021029508 rero USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd United States fast Etats-Unis rero United States Race relations Etats-Unis (RERO)A009975208 rero http://unisg.link/hm00447892 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero zbzmon201612f fran zbzswk201612g bucp idszbz Z2 so SzZuIDS BS/BE RERO RE31011 RE31011 RE310110001 NET AmN 1218 RERO RE61081 RE61081 RE610810001 306.441 BER ETIA 31995 IDSSG HSG HSG UG MS 3530 B533 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2017 A 11893 IDSBB B500 B500 FH VRF_MS_3530 81 NELB5001506 IDSSG 100 1- Berrey Ellen (DE-588)1081254467 Verfasser aut IDSSG 856 4- http://unisg.link/hm00447892 Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSBB 100 1- Berrey Ellen NEBIS 100 1- Berrey Ellen (DE-588)1081254467 Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Berrey Ellen (IDREF)191241059 cre RERO 856 42 Compte-rendu http://www.laviedesidees.fr/La-diversite-en-discours-et-en-pratiques.html NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-0-226-24606-2_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf
