Ethnic Identity and Inequalities in Britain: The Dynamics of Diversity de Stephen Jivraj

Ethnic Identity and Inequalities in Britain: The Dynamics of Diversity

Editat de Stephen Jivraj, Ludi Simpson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mai 2015
As the issues of inequality and ethnic identity become ever more prominent in politics and media, this book is well timed to play a useful role: offering in-depth analysis of the intersection of the two issues by experts in the field. Drawn from the last three UK population censuses, it not only offers a comprehensive overview of the topic, but also clarifies key concepts. Contributors highlight persistent inequalities in access to housing, employment, education, and good health faced by some ethnic groups, and the resulting book will be a crucial resource for policy makers and researchers alike.

Recenzii

“Carefully written, beautifully illustrated, accurately analysed, expertly argued—what more could you ask for?”

“Essential reading for the citizen who wishes to be informed about the ethnic transformation that British society is experiencing.”

“This collection makes a timely and scholarly intervention in debates on ethnic identities and inequality in Britain. Through scholarship and sober reason it provides a vital counterweight to the presuppositions, priors and prejudices too common in the public debate. An invaluable contribution.”

“Fifty years on from the first Race Relations Act, this important and timely book traces the continuities and changes in ethnicity in Britain.”
