Race and ethnicity (Sociology in focus series)

Racism in Britain and opposition to it are the main focus for analysis in this text. Discussing it both in relation to the British Empire and post-imperial immigration to Britain, the book also investigates these issues with respect to such themes as employment, housing and education. The book is part of a series providing coherent coverage of the main topics arising in post-16 introductory courses in sociology, with a particular relevance to A-level students. Designed to show something of the purpose of sociology and the craft of the sociologist, each book in the series introduces the main issues covered in that area, analyzes the key areas and debates in each topic, provides statistical and documentary extracts and offers suggestions for study activities and further reading.
