The education system should be in the forefront of the battle to
combat racial inequality. The contributors to this book, however,
argue that, far from reducing racial inequality, the education
system in the UK systematically generates, maintains and reproduces
it. Through careful consideration of the complex and pervasive
nature of racism (and the practices it gives rise to) the
contributors draw attention to the failure of the contemporaneous
multicultural education theories and policies. The contributors'
concerns are with: the role of the state in sustaining and
legitimating racial inequalities in education; black students'
experiences of racism in schools and post-school training schemes;
and proposals for the realization of genuine and effective
antiracist education principles.
