Contemporary Racisms and Ethnicities by Mac An Ghaill
* How are we to understand race, ethnicity and racism? * In what ways can racism and racist practices be resisted? * How do we learn to live with difference? Questions of migration, nation and ethnic belonging are of major symbolic significance to Western 'post-colonial' societies in uncertain times. The main focus of this book is the interrelationship of changing representations of race, ethnicity and racism with wider socio-economic, political and cultural transformations. Rapid changes in the politics of race across a wide range of societies imply there is a need to go beyond the fixed boundaries of the anti-racist black-white dualistic model of racism. Within the context of the fragmentation of social relations attributed to globalising processes, the author examines earlier class-based explanations of racial difference alongside new approaches that take modernity and post-modernity as frameworks for analysis.| SKU | Unavailable |
