| Description: |
This book gives a detailed analysis of official documents, and of the historical origins of racist violence. The author then uses the conclusions of his analyses, alongside an in-depth case study of racial attacks and police response in East London, to analyse why the ideas and language of white supremacy and racial exclusion direct violence at `non-white' individuals, and why the police response is so routinely ineffectual. The book reveals insights into racistBritain that will be of interest to both academics in this area and those professions who have to deal with both the acts and the consequences of racism. |
| Synopsis: |
Using a detailed case study of an area of East London, this book documents the everyday abuse, assault and intimidation that is suffered by ethnic minorities in Great Britain. The author explains and analyses the process through which violence is targeted at these minorities, along with the role that the ideas and language of racial exclusion take in this process. The apparent failure of the police and "multi-agency initiatives" to respond effectively to this problem is then looked at in depth. This book is based on detailed analysis of official documents, a victimisation survey, interviews and direct observation, seen in the overall context of the history of race relations in Britain. It describes some of the many thousands of racist attacks that have occurred in recent years and the events in the last two decades that have shaped English racism and the political and policy responses to it. |
