First published in 1993, Radicalism, Anti-Racism and Representation is a study set within a wider political context for the discussion of 'racial' representation and anti-racism. The second half of the book is devoted to interview-based exploration of the ambiguities and political characteristics of 'race' equality consciousness amongst public educators. It is shown that there is no one anti-racism. Different ideals and assumptions have been arrived at within different historical and geographical contexts. It is suggested that this intellectual plurality provides a resource for those wishing to rethink anti-racism in the light of its contemporary malaise. The study also explores and explains the development of self-critical, reflexive, anti-racist and radical consciousness amongst educators. The book provides the first sociological study of anti-racism. Indeed, it is the first to provide a substantive critique of anti-racism from outside the New Right. It is also the first to look at this phenomenon geographically and to compare anti-racism in 'multiracial' and 'white' areas. This book will be of interest to students of human geography, sociology, history, ethnic studies, and race studies.
