  The new edition of Race and Racism in Britain builds on the strengths of previous editions of this widely-used text in providing a detailed and critical analysis of race relations and forms of racism in British society today. The book begins by mapping a conceptual framework that seeks to locate the British experience within a broader context which it proceeds to apply in a systematic assessment of trends, developments and political and policy debates since the 1950s.

  The new edition of this widely acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and extended to provide more detailed coverage of social policy issues and comparisons with other European countries. Reviewers' comments on the first edition: '...the most thorough introduction to the politics of racism in contemporary Britain currently available. There is no other work that covers such an encyclopaedic range of secondary material, accords the full spectrum of research remarkably fair, if critical, treatment, and presents the final products in a lucid and concise text.' - Michael Keith, Times Higher Education Supplement '...Solomos is particularly good at raising theoretical issues and summarizing the present state of current debates. This is a well-researched addition to the growing literature on 'race' politics and will be a very useful student text.' - Zig Layton-Henry, Political Studies `...Accessible and innovative (a rare combination)...Solomos finds a way to put across the most penetrating and complex arguments without discouraging his target (student) readership...It will challenge afresh many an old hand in the `race relations' industry.' - Susan J. Smith, Sociology
