Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a brief and accessible summary of knowledge of social divisions by "race" in Britain. It contains a wealth of information on the experiences and life chances of black people - in education, the labour market, health, welfare, housing and the criminal justice system. It both illuminates general issues of "race" and racism - in so far as they are quantifiable - and provides helpful demographic background on specific minority ethnic groups. It also locates "race" within the context of other divisions in society, notably class and gender. Drawing upon official statistics - whilst recognizing their validity problems - and alternative research, this lucid and up to date survey aims to inform current debates on the effectiveness of anti-racist policies, the extent of racism, migration and Europe. Specific questions covered include: What are the actual patterns of migration to and from Britain?; How do Bangladeshi children really perform at school?; Is it true that Afro-Caribbeans are more likely to be diagnosed as schizophrenic?
