  This volume charts recent changes and trends in various social, community and economic features of Britain's black and ethnic minority population, together with its interaction with public policy. The analysis in each chapter is followed by the exploration of possible avenues and dilemmas policy-makers encounter in light of some of the existing models and within the context of wider policies likely to be purusued by different political parties. The central theme of the book is that different ethnic minority communities are at different points of development in terms of both disadvantages and achievements. The book emphasizes the need to evolve sensitive but bold approaches which draw inspiration from a variety of existing and relatively effective models for community development and counter-discrimination.
