How do the United States and France differ in laws and attitudes concerning discrimination at work? Franco-American scholar Marie Mercat-Bruns interviews prominent legal scholars to demonstrate how these two post-industrial democracies have adopted divergent strategies. Whereas employers in the United States and France rarely discriminate openly, deep systemic discrimination exists in both countries, each with a unique history of dealing with difference. Powerful and incisive, the book examines hot-button issues such as racial and religious bias, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and equality for LGBT individuals, highlighting comparisons that will further discussions on social equality and fundamental human rights across borders.

AbstractKimberle Crenshaw was the first to identify the challenges of intersectional claims in law. On the European level, the term most often used is multiple discrimination. After 50 years of implementation of civil rights legislation, the United States offers a unique critique of the scope and the limits of anti‐discrimination law. The interpretation of concepts like disparate treatment and disparate impact discrimination in employment reveals the complexity of individual and systemic discrimination. American empirical studies of the grounds of discrimination reflect issues of equality and liberty. The transatlantic comparison allows us to revisit the analysis of the intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination in law from a different standpoint in Europe.

L'article aborde l'enseignement du droit aux États-Unis à travers deux questions : un bref aperçu de l'impact « avoué » de la concurrence entre établissements sur la formation juridique et un panorama plus approfondi des traits principaux des études juridiques aux États-Unis et leur évolution.

La prévention regroupe l'ensemble des mesures et des institutions destinées à empêcher – ou au moins à limiter – la réalisation d'un risque, la production d'un dommage, l'accomplissement d'actes nuisibles en s'efforçant d'en supprimer les causes et les moyens. La faible portée de l'interdiction légale des discriminations fondées sur l'âge incite à rechercher d'autres moyens juridiques que la sanction de son auteur, en vue d'appréhender cette discrimination. Jusqu'à présent, les mesures d'âge ont visé à protéger des personnes considérées comme faiblement employables ou à défendre des victimes de discrimination, au lieu d'envisager les relations à partir desquelles la situation des salariés, jeunes ou seniors, s'est construite et a produit certaines exclusions professionnelles. L'enjeu de cette contribution est de déceler les causes de la discrimination fondée sur l'âge en s'intéressant à un encadrement multiple des rapports professionnels tout le long de la vie au travail. Sur le plan individuel, il serait possible d'exiger, comme pour le handicap, d'aménager le poste en étendant la portée de l'interdiction des discriminations ou de rappeler les obligations légales et contractuelles de l'employeur, qui cherchent à limiter les risques inhérents au travail quel que soit l'âge du salarié. Sur le plan collectif, il s'agit de mesurer la portée éventuelle des accords collectifs et de l'action de la Haute autorité de lutte contre les discriminations et pour l'égalité (Halde) sur le terrain de la prévention des discriminations fondées sur l'âge.
