Beskrivning

Political Racism conceptualizes a distinctive form of racism – intentional, organized hostility mobilized by political actors – and examines its role in the Brexit conflict and in the rise of a new nationalist politics in the UK.In a compelling analysis the book argues that Powellite anti-immigrant racism, reinterpreted in numerical terms, was combined with anti-East European and anti-Muslim hostility to inform the Vote Leave victory. This type of racism, which has a special significance in societies where racism has been delegitimized, is shown to have further shaped the form of EU withdrawal and also the government’s post-Brexit policies.

Recensioner i media

Shaw tackles a difficult issue – one that tends to be played down when we discuss supposedly 'mainstream' British politics – with skill, subtlety and an admirable refusal to resort to euphemism. Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how Brexit came to pass should read this book and take its argument seriously.
