Sommario/riassunto

Taking as a case study the racial politics of the British state under New Labour, this book advancesĀ an idea of multiculturalism as the only conceptual framework that is capable of making sense of the contradictions of contemporary race practice, where racism is simultaneously rejected and reproduced.
