"Metaepistemology and Relativism" explores the debate on whether knowledge is relative, contrasting views from humanities and mainstream epistemology.

Focusing on the intersection of race and employment, this text critically analyzes the segregation of ethnic minority workers in the labor market through the lens of social closure. It challenges prevailing assumptions about equal opportunity and affirmative action policies, assessing their effectiveness and the changes in employment practices. Two case studies provide empirical support for the discussion. Additionally, the book delves into the public redefinition of institutional racism, particularly in relation to the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, highlighting its implications for the labor market.
