Racism, Ethnicity, and Social PolicyThe concepts, assumptions and direction of policy debates over questions of racial equality and ethnicity are increasingly coming into question. This book explores these debates in a style accessible to students approaching the subject for the first time. Within a policy-sector-based structure, topics covered include: the role of law in racial equality, the prospects for migration management, the underclass debate, the role of the black housing movement, the reality of community care, the insularity of health policy and the misrepresentation of black minority ethnic educational achievement. The policy content of the book is placed in context with a theoretical overview of the relevant conceptual themes and debates. |
