ABSTRACT: This volume examines the relationship between
ethnicity and the law, looking at the two, first in
principle and then as they relate to education, employment,
and neighborhoods. Philosophically, the papers included in
the book represent 4 different perspectives: (1) that the
law should recognize only individual rights and that
membership in an ethnic or racial group is a purely private
matter; (2) that the law should grant compensatory
recognition of ethnic identity; (3) that ethnicity is of
inherent value and that public policy should support ethnic
diversity because it contributes to the social good; and
(4) that ethnicity is a social problem because complex
economic and political forces acknowledge and perpetrate
ethnic and racial divisions and also often negatively
influence these groups. Authors of articles that represent
the various perspectives include Peter J. Kellogg, Raoul
Berger, Robert M. O'Neil, Nathan Glazer, Richard Ruiz,
Cyrena N. Pondrom, Manning Marable, and Richard J. Krickus.
