Racisms cover

Combining key theoretical perspectives with contemporary case studies, this text will be invaluable in helping you to fully understand the complex issue of racism. With clear definitions and practical examples this is a solid resource when seeking to examine the way in which racisms have become part of social practices and institutions. 

Providing a clear and readable introduction to all of the key concepts, theories and debates, this fully revised new edition:

  • Includes new chapters on Ethnicity and Immigration
  • Has 30 new boxed case studies with a more international focus
  • Contains new learning features including further reading and questions for reflection

Racisms is an ideal introduction for undergraduates studying race and ethnicity, social divisions and stratification.

Professor Garner has refined and expanded his perceptive and critical text by engaging with the latest controversies and challenges presented by the pervasiveness of racist ideologies, policies and actions. The text represents a valuable contribution to this complex field which is all the more important given the instrumental use of racist politicised rhetoric in the USA and Europe and all that it leaves in its wake. This text will appeal to all those seeking to comprehend the origins of racisms but above all how they can be challenged. -- Muzammil Quraishi
