This work documents the everyday abuse, assault and intimidation
that is suffered by black and Asian people in Great Britain every
day, using information gathered in an East London case study. The
author explains and analyzes the process through which violence is
targeted at these minorities, and the role that the ideas and
language of racial exclusion take in this process. The failure of
the police to respond to this problem is then looked at in depth.
This book is based on detailed analysis of official documents, a
victimization survey, interviews and direct observation, seen in
the overall context of the history of race relations in Britain.
The author describes many of the thousands of racist attacks that
have occurred in recent years and the events in the last two
decades that have shaped English racism, and the political response
to it. In this edition Ben Bowling's Preface examines the racist
murder of the black teenager, Stephen Lawrence, whose killing in
cold blood on an ordinary English street in April 1993 did not hit
the headlines until February 1999, causing reverberations across
the whole body of British politics and beyond.
