Synopsis

Black Success in the UK: Essays in Racial and Ethnic Studies paints a timely, historical and contemporary portrait of successes of people of Caribbean and African descent in the UK. The thrust of the argument is that despite the general underachievement of people of Caribbean and African origin with which the general public, media, professional and academic literature constantly portray, all is not doom and gloom.

All contributors to Black Success are leading academics and/or practitioners in the field of racial and ethnic studies. The book will therefore be essential reading for scholars, practitoners and students of racial and/or cultural studies, race relations, social studies and educational studies and anyone interested in issues of race and ethnicity.
