Even so, scores of states have continued to commit this serious human rights violation, characterised by systematic discrimination against groups of people based on aspects of their identity. While acknowledging the legal aspects involved, this book emphasizes the essentially political nature of acts of state-driven discrimination on such grounds as race, language, culture and political orientation. Fifteen contemporary cases of persecution are examined to determine who discriminated against whom, why, how, when and with what outcomes. Among the examples are Indonesia, Turkey, China, Iraq, Uganda, South Africa, Israel, Zimbabwe, Croatia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deon Geldenhuys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2807610498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782807610491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Deon Geldenhuys","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113789141247,"sku":"9782807610491","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c1bc5f5-5f6b-496a-a2be-c18d7d477bd7.jpg?v=1769617321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-persecution-deon-geldenhuys-9782807610491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
