Abstract

The review of Niall Crowley's book To name and address the underlying problem: Structural discrimination on the ground of racial or ethnic origin (2020) highlights the importance of addressing structural discrimination on the ground of racial or ethnic origin, which at EU level has only begun to be done with the EU Anti-Racism Action Plan adopted in 2020. The review points out the desirability of clarifying the concepts used to analyse racism and structural discrimination, the need to address the different processes of discrimination suffered by immigrants, and the urgency of making anti-discrimination policies based on racial or ethnic origin (and immigrant status) cross-cutting elements of all public policies to combat structural discrimination.
