Radicals Against Race by Brian Alleyne

This book interrogates the ideas and practices of the New Beacon Circle's activists as relatively stable elements in the fast-changing scene of contemporary radical politics. Highlighting how biography and self representation have important cultural, theoretical and political implications, Alleyne succeeds in making an original contribution to a growing literature on autobiography as a rich resource for understanding social and political theory. He also provides an engaging account of a neglected area of British Activism. This book will be of interest to social anthropologists, sociologists, and anyone interested in the history of British activism or race and ethnic studies.
'Innovative, engaging and excitingAnyone who has any doubts about the strength and power of contemporary British sociology should read this book.'Steve Taylor, Chair, BSA Publications Committee
Brian Alleyne Lecturer in Sociology,Goldsmiths College, University of London
