Education and Race from Empire to Brexit

This book shows how the Brexit vote to leave the European Union has increased hostilities towards racial and ethnic minorities and migrants. Tomlinson covers events in politics and education that have left most white British people ignorant of the dark history of the British Empire, the often brutal process of decolonization, and the arrival of immigrants from post-colonial and European countries. The book also discusses politics and practices in education, race, religion, and migration that resulted in schools and universities who consistently fail to engage with today’s multiracial and multicultural society.
