Overview
This new edition of Britain's Black Population charts the latest changes and trends in various social, community and economic features of Britain's black and ethnic minority population, together with its interaction with public policy. Each chapter explores possible avenues and dilemmas that policy-makers have encountered in the light of existing models and within the context of wider policies likely to be pursued by different political parties in the future. The central theme of the book is that different ethnic minority communities are at different points of development in terms of both disadvantage and achievement. The book emphasises the need to evolve sensitive but bold approaches which draw inspiration from a variety of existing and relatively effective models for community development and counter-discrimination.Synopsis
