Researching Race and Racism

Informationen zum Autor Bulmer, Martin; Solomos, John Klappentext Race and racism have become huge areas of study in the social sciences over the past two decades. However, whilst this has been reflected in the growing body of theoretical and empirically based work, surprisingly little has been published that explores the methodological and practical issues involved in researching race. In Researching Race and Racism Martin Bulmer and John Solomos have brought together contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field, using the benefit of their experience to explore the practical and ethical issues involved in doing research in this sometimes controversial, often heavily politicised field. This book will provide students and researchers - both new to the field and experienced alike - with an invaluable tool to help them find their way. Zusammenfassung This new work brings together contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field, using the benefit of their experience to explore the practical and ethical issues involved in researching in this often controversial field.
