Overview
The new edition of Race and Racism in Britain builds on the strengths of previous editions of this widely-used text in providing a detailed and critical analysis of race relations and forms of racism in British society today. The book begins by mapping a conceptual framework that seeks to locate the British experience within a broader context which it proceeds to apply in a systematic assessment of trends, developments and political and policy debates since the 1950s.
Synopsis
Solomos (sociology, City University London) presents an accessible overview of race relations and racism in British society since 1945. The first few chapters discuss basic theory and consider the historical context of racism in Britain. Other topics include, for example, urban politics, policing, nationalism, and identity politics. The third edition contains a new chapter on race, class, and social change. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
