“…This managerialist reorientation of equal opportunities represents a significant shift in approach to managing the problem of race over the period in our study, a shift that has contributed towards the depoliticization of the race issue. This shift from legislation to the rhetoric of managerialism, we contend, has gone some way towards reducing the disruptive potential posed by racism (Young, 1990;Bagilhole, 1997).

Finally, there is the enforcement stage, where some EOPs are so weak that the perpetrators of harassment seem to be as protected as the survivors (e.g.…”

“…Whilst the existence of cultural difference was generally acknowledged, the underlying philosophy rested within a liberal conception of «equality of opportunity» as discussed earlier. Yet, as Young (1992) The need therefore to be cognisant of cultural attachment, informed about its scope of influence, and have an understanding of its potential impact upon individual autonomy can be seen to be of key importance when considering the careers guidance needs of Muslim girls. For this to be effective, a move away from the notion of equal opportunities to a more dynamic conception of critical social justice is now required.…”
