The Politics of Social Science Research de P. Ratcliffe

The Politics of Social Science Research: Race, Ethnicity and Social Change: Migration, Minorities and Citizenship

P. Ratcliffe

This book addresses some of the key questions facing contemporary social scientists. What is the point of our research? Who undertakes it? Does it have any impact on the social world it attempts to characterize: if so, what? It does so by focusing on international research on identity and inequality grounded in 'race' and ethnic difference. The contributors to the volume ask searching questions about the politics of research funding, the empowerment of minorities, and the prospects for meaningful change.
