Racism and Ethnicity: Global Debates,

Provides a thorough, illuminating and uniquely wide-ranging discussion of race, racism and ethnicity within a global context, and examines in depth their ongoing power and durability in the 21st century. A carefully developed structure gradually builds knowledge from key concepts, historical origins and categorisation, to a deeper understanding and theorising of the principal issues and debates. Chapters on Historical Groundings, Categorising Peoples, Theorising Racism and Ethnicity, Migration, Racist Violence, Exclusion and Discrimination, Representation in News Media, and lastly, Prospects for a Post-Ethnic, Post-Racial World. Addresses the operation of race and racism in their specific regional, national and local contexts, drawing on a range of non-Western regions from Cuba to Burma, as well as providing in-depth substantive material on the UK, Europe and the USA. Examines in detail the theories and histories of race, racism and ethnicity, with critical evaluation of the work of major figures from Du Bois to Goldberg. Presents new research on pre-modern racisms, contemporary scientific racisms, racist violence, racism reduction, ethnicity in the UK and European patterns of exclusion and discrimination. Richly illustrated with examples and case studies drawn from across the world and time including the Burakumin in Japan, Park's Hawai'ian racial laboratory, the rise of the extreme right in the UK and race hate in the Russian news media. A range of in-text features enrich the material including chapter summaries, key concept and case boxes, chapter activities and further reading.
