Race Relations in Britain Since 1945 (Social History in Perspective)

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. This book provides a critical overview of the origins, development and present state of race relations in Britain. Harry 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 color in the imperial and colonial era as well as the contemporary period.
