The Racialisation of Disorder in Twentieth Century Britain

Viac o knihe

The book explores the concept of racialisation, emphasizing the need to consider local contexts alongside historical themes in understanding racialized discourse. It investigates how racialized ideas intersect with other discourses, highlighting the social construction of race. The analysis culminates in a discussion of the 1980s, arguing that interpretations of unrest during this period were influenced by conservative views that downplayed socio-economic factors in favor of attributing unrest to cultural or personal traits.
