Editorial Review

Racism
- Book Review, by Robert Miles

A. Sillitoe, Staffordshire Polytechnic
"An excellent survey by one of the best British sociologists writing on race today."

Book Description
Racism provides a general overview of the history and debate surrounding the concept of racism. Its objective is to argue that the concept should retain a central place in the analysis of both the historical development, and contemporary structure of, capitalist societies. It therefore rejects not only arguments which suggest that racism is an ideology that disappeared after the Second World War, but also arguments that use the concept to refer generally to the totality of society.

Racism
- Book Reviews, by Robert Miles

Racism

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Racism is as pertinent an issue today as it was twenty years ago. This fully updated new edition of Racism provides a thought-provoking account of the history and debate about the concept. Combining historical and theoretical analysis, it surveys the history of the ways in which European peoples have described and experienced non-Europeans, and summarizes the emergence and evolution of the concept of racism within the Western sociological tradition.

This edition brings the book up to date by reviewing recent developments in the debate and by looking at examples such as the war in the former Yugoslavia and the cases of Stephen Lawrence and Rodney King, as well as considering Islamophobia in Western societies. This book will be essential reading for students studying racism or ethnicity in sociology, anthropology and politics.
