The increased focus on the politics of difference over the past decades has allowed a re-evaluation of stereotypical perceptions of ethnicity and prejudiced attitudes towards outgroups. However, ethnicity remains central to structuring social interactions and institutions, often engendering misrecognition of identities and interests along distinctly ethnic categories. Importantly, ethnicity represents a salient category used to discriminate against people, as misrecognition or non-recognition of ethnic identity often translates into other forms of inequality including economic disadvantage, social exclusion, and impairments to democratic participation.
This panel invites papers to consider the processes through which direct or indirect discrimination on ethnic grounds creates or perpetuates existing social and economic inequalities, maintains multidimensional disadvantages for individuals and groups, and converts forms of misrecognition or non-recognition into forms of maldistribution. What is distinctively wrong about discrimination on ethnic grounds? What is the role played by misrecognition in discrimination? What is the connection between discrimination and other social and economic inequalities?
