ANTI-RACISM

Anti-racism has without doubt become a powerful component

of modern society but, unlike its counter-discourses of racism

and ethnic hatred, has remained curiously inconspicuous as a

subject of social and historical analysis. This introductory text

provides students for the first time with a historical and

international analysis of the development of anti-racism.

Drawing on sources from around the world, the author explains

the roots and describes the practice of anti-racism in Western

and non-Western societies from Britain and the United States

to Malaysia and Brazil.

Topics covered include:

• the historical roots of anti-racism

• the relationship between nationalism, capitalism and anti-

racism

• the practice of anti-racism

• the theoretical and political dilemmas of anti-racism

• the politics of backlash

This lively, concise book will be an indispensable resource for

all students interested in issues of ‘race’ and ethnicity and in

contemporary society more generally.

KEY IDEAS

SERIES EDITOR: PETER HAMILTON, THE OPEN

UNIVERSITY, MILTON KEYNES

Designed to complement the successful Key Sociologists, this

series covers the main concepts, issues, debates, and

controversies in sociology and the social sciences. The series

aims to provide authoritative essays on central topics of social

science, such as community, power, work, sexuality,

inequality, benefits and ideology, class, family, etc. Books

adopt a strong individual ‘line’ constituting original essays

rather than literary surveys, and form lively and original

treatments of their subject matter. The books will be useful to

students and teachers of sociology, political science,

economics, psychology, philosophy, and geography.
