Edited by Sandra Fredman, Professor of Discrimination Law at Oxford University. This set of essays constitutes a key contribution to the debate about the role of human rights law in combating race discrimination. Including essays by a range of leading experts, the book is a particularly important source of information and critical analysis for students, researchers, and policy-makers aiming to understand both the new race Directive adopted by the EU, and the role of international human rights law which is the focus of the UN world conference on racism in 2001.
