As globalization expands, more than goods and information are traded between the countries of the world. Hattery, Embrick, and Smith present a collection of essays that explore the ways in which issues of human rights and social inequality are shared globally. The editors focus on the United States' role in contributing to human rights violations both inside and outside its borders. Essays on contemporary issues such as immigration, colonialism, and reparations are used to illustrate how the U.S. and the rest of the world are inextricably linked in their relationships to human rights violations and social inequality. Contributors include Judith Blau, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, and Joe R. Feagin.
Hattery, Embrick, and Smith have assembled an exceptional group of articles delving into the timely issues of race, racism, and immigration. With attention to continuing concerns over human rights and reparations,Globalization and America addresses inequality and human rights violations in and outside of the United States. Concluding the volume with a section of "talking points," this collection is certain to spark discussion both in and out of the classroom.
