Reviews

"This volume makes an important and stimulating contribution to the conceptual debate on race, racism and ethnicity in recent sociology. This unique, indispensable and critical appraisal of Banton's work is likely to be extensively used by students in sociology, social anthropology and social policy." - Annie Phizacklea
