Description
This is the first in-depth study of the interaction between the cultural traditions of Britain's ethnic minorities and English law. It explores the policies and principles that should govern legal responses to ethnic diversity, testing them by reference to six detailed case studies in which a
specific issue of major cultural concern to a particular minority community is addressed--primarily from a legal standpoint. The recent global upsurge in assertions of ethnicity and the book's many references to human rights law (as well as to other legal systems) make for a timely analysis set in a
representative context. Written by a respected authority on this branch of the law, the book will interest scholars of civil liberties and human rights law, pupils of ethnic studies, and race-relations professionals.
