What is
race equality? How can it be promoted at a local level?
This important book describes how a network of small
voluntary-sector race equality organisations contributes to
the elimination of racial discrimination and the promotion
of equality of opportunity and good relations between ethnic
and racial groups in the multi-racial cities, towns and
rural districts of Britain.
The
history of post-Seconed-World-War immigration and race
relations, together with successive governments’ policies
and laws to date (2006) provide the backcloth against which
the prodigiously-varied work of race equality councils and
partnerships on policy development, community support,
assistance to individuals, and public education, takes
place.
This is
an indispensable introductory text for students thinking of
entering the field, and for new staff, trainees, and
volunteers, already working for race equality
organisations. Experienced officers can benefit from
reading the cogent summaries of key enquiries, reports and
debates on topics such as institutional racism, community
cohesion, and multi-strand approaches to equality promotion.
