About this title

Review:

'... this book should be read not only by those interested n race politics or the politics of both France and Britain, but also by everyone interested in the general role of ideas in politics.' E-extreme

'A comprehensive attempt to tackle the historical evolution of race policies in two countries with much the same problem ... The book supports both systems as potential models for the EU as a whole.' The Times

'... an insightful account ... Bleich provides an interesting comparative survey of race policies in France and Britain and tests his hypothesis successfully with facts and attention-grabbing anecdotes.' Cercles

'... a well-written empirical analysis that usefully emphasises the power of beliefs and ideas in policy-making ...' Political Studies Review

Book Description:

Britain and France have developed substantially different policies to manage racial tensions since the 1960s, in spite of having similar numbers of post-war ethnic minority immigrants. This book provides the first detailed historical exploration of race policy development in these two countries.
