Review
'...the kind of book that can only be written by sociologists who have a consummate understanding of the field...This is a compact book, accessibly written, complete with a guide to further reading...which is bound to be an invaluable source for students in the sociology of 'race and ethnicity.' - Sociological Review
'The main strength of the book lies in the fact that it successfully draws together literatures which all too often remain separated, and that it presents complex theoretical and historical material in an accessible manner, but without oversimplification.' - Political Studies
From the Back Cover
This book provides an original and challenging account of racism and social and political relations in contemporary societies. Drawing upon their own research and the multidisciplinary perspectives of other scholars, the authors seek to provide an answer to some of the most difficult challenges that arise in the analysis of race and racism in contemporary societies. They point to the complex forms which racist discourses and mobilisations have taken in recent decades in a wide variety of societies and suggest that there is a need to rethink and go beyond existing theoretical perspectives.
