Sommario/riassunto

This edited collection focuses on research into youth, 'mixed race', identities, intersections of 'race' and ethnicity, and - crucially - has extended the focus from visible 'ethnic minorities' to the theorization and interrogation of whiteness. A key feature of the book is its engagement with a range of methodological approaches to examining the significance of race including ethnography, visual methodologies and historical analysis.
