'This book is well researched and highly accessible. It is both a
useful and much needed addition to the literature on race and
social research' - "Ethnic and Racial Studies
"
'The book is well laid out with glossaries of significant new
terms and summaries of key points at the end of each chapter,
extensive notes and a very useful bibliography. Knowle's book is a
welcome contribution to our understanding, and its emphasis on
social analysis helps to bridge what sometimes appears to be a
widening gap between the academic and policy/practitioner
communities. She provides some significant insights into the
inter-relationships between everyday race/ethnicity making and
contemporary political and theoretical understandings'
" - Runnymede's Quarterly Bulletin"
'Knowles writes eloquently about how we can challenge and change
racist ideas, and ideas about race...this is an important and
enjoyable book, which would be valuable to academics or students of
any discipline' "- Sociological Research Online

In Race and Social Analysis, Caroline Knowles combines
biographical and spatial analysis to provide an up-to-date account
of the ways race and ethnicity operate in a global context.
The author argues that race and ethnicity is intricately woven
into the social landscapes in which we live - encompassing both the
mundane interactions of daily life and the ways in which the
contemporary world is organized. Through social analysis, the book
shows the ways in which we all contribute to race making and the
forms of social inequality it produces.
Drawing on the work of other authors in the field and extending
it to provide some avenues into conceptualizing andresearching
race, Caroline Knowles examines:
- how race and ethnicity operate in the social world
- the making of race and ethnicity by the connections between
people, spaces and places
- the ways race and ethnicity articulate current analytical
themes in social science such as space, movement and global
networks
- the ways in which broader structures of racial orders are
apparent in everyday lives and the stories people tell about
them
- the ways in which places and spaces are raced and
ethnicised
- the ways in which race is significant in the operation of
globalization and global migration
- the making of whiteness
Race and Social Analysis offers a grounded theoretical
examination of race & ethnicity that draws upon examples in
Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. It offers a
unique take on the available literature by adding a missing British
account of whiteness'.
