Race and Ethnicity in Modern Britain

The first chapters of this comprehensive introduction set out in a clear and accessible way some of the key conceptual issues in the study of race and ethnicity in modern Britain. Subsequent chapters examine the historical background to migration and ethnic diversity. Drawing attention to akey distinction between difference and diversity, the book examines the interplay of inequality, citizenship, and public policy in a number of key areas central to life in Britain today. In addressing such key topics as employment, education, housing, health, criminal justice, and politicalrepresentation, Professor Mason emphasizes diversity which makes up life in modern Britain and shows how the experience of different ethnic groups are also mediated by class and gender.Mason, David is the author of 'Race and Ethnicity in Modern Britain' with ISBN 9780198780991 and ISBN 0198780990.
