Racial justice is never far from the headlines. The Windrush
Scandal, the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston and racism
within the police have all recently captured the public’s
attention and generated legal action. But, although the ideals of
the legal system such as fairness and equality, seem allied to the
struggle for racial justice, all too often campaigners have been
let down by the system. This book examines law’s troubled
relationship with racial justice. It explains that law’s
historical role in creating and perpetuating racial injustices
continues to stifle its ability to advance the cause of racial
justice today. Both a lawyer’s guide to anti-racism and an
anti-racist’s guide to legal action, it unites these perspectives
to help both groups understand how to use the law to tackle racial
injustices.
