'Remarkable ... a major contribution to our understanding and
handling of one of the crucial contemporary issues that acquires
more gravity by the day.' Zygmunt Bauman This is an in-depth
sociological study of the phenomenon of anti-racism, as both
political discourse and social movement practice in western Europe.
Lentin develops a comparative study of anti-racism in Britain,
France, Italy and Ireland. While 'race' and racism have been
submitted to many profound analyses, anti-racism has often been
dealt with as either the mere opposite of racism or as a theme for
prescriptives or polemics by those concerned with the persistence
of racist discrimination. By contrast, this book views anti-racism
as a variety of discourses that are central to the understanding of
the politics of modern states. Examining anti-racism gives us
insights not only into current debates on citizenship, immigration
and Europeanisation, but it also crucially assists us in
understanding the nature of race, racism and racialisation
themselves. At a time of mounting state racism against asylum
seekers, migrants and refugees throughout Europe and beyond, this
book provides a much-needed exploration of the discourse of
anti-racism that shapes policy and public opinion today.
