Race and Racism in Britain, Third Edition

JOHN SOLOMOS is Professor of Sociology, City University.

Reviews of previous editions: '...lucid and concise... the most thorough introduction to the politics of racism in contemporary Britain currently available.' - Michael Keith, Times Higher Education Supplement '...Solomos is particularly good at raising theoretical issues and summarising 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
