Race Relations in Britain Since 1945 by Harry Goulbourne
Race Relations in Britain since 1945 provides a critical overview of the origins, development and present state of race relations in Britain. Highly contentious, the field of race relations is closely related to a number of issues which are regarded to be at the very heart of contemporary British life. Professor Goulbourne draws on a variety of historical, sociological, anthropological and political analyses to construct and advance a convincing and persuasive argument about differential incorporation into British society or inequality based on colour in the imperial and colonial era as well as the contemporary period.
'Harry Goulbourne chronicles race related developments in the UK in a unique style that is refreshingly challenging and relevant for students' - Sir Herman Ouseley, Commission for Racial Equality '[Goulbourne] offers lucid, succinct overviews of the history of immigration, citizenship and race relations legislation, of minority communities' continuing problems in relation to housing, health, employment, education and the legal system, and of the changing stances of the main political parties and other national institutions towards race relations.' - Stephen Howe, Contemporary British History '...presents a concise and readable perspective on the British section of this...' - Shamit Saggar, Times Higher Education Supplement
HARRY GOULBOURNE is Professor of Sociology at South Bank University, London.
