Recenzje

'Marx famously said that 'People make their own history, but not on conditions of their own choosing'. The Unfinished Politics of Race documents how black and ethnic groups made 'their own history' in Britain from the 1940s until today mostly outside the traditional public sphere and formal politics. Richly detailed, empirically grounded, and organized around an innovative set of political concepts, this book is destined to become the bible for understanding not only the British racial formation, but how it has been made and remade over the years.' Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Duke University
