Do the united states and france, both post-industrial democracies, differ in their views and laws concerning discrimination? marie mercat-bruns, a franco-american scholar, examines the differences in how the two countries approach discrimination. Bringing together prominent legal scholars—including robert post, linda krieger, martha minow, reva siegel, susan sturm, richard ford, and others—mercat-bruns demonstrates how the two nations have adopted divergent strategies. The united states continues, with mixed success at "colorblind" policies, to deal with issues of diversity in university enrollment, class action sex-discrimination lawsuits, and rampant police violence against african american men and women. In france, the country has banned the full-face veil while making efforts to present itself as a secular republic.
