Racism, Culture, Markets explores the connections between cultural
representations of `race' and their historical, institutional and
global forms of expression and impact. John Gabriel examines the
current fixation with market place philosophies in terms of the
crisis in anti-racist politics and concern over questions of
cultural identity. He explores issues such as the continuing
relevance of terms like `black' as a basis for self definition; the
need to think about identities in more fluid and complex ways, and
the need to develop a much more explicit discussion of the
construction of whiteness and white identities. Racism, Culture,
Markets brings together a range of historical and contemporary case
studies including the Rushdie affair; the Gulf War; debates around
fostering, adoption and domestic violence; separate schooling; the
service economy and its employment practices; tourism in the Third
World; the Bhopal chemical disaster and racism in the new Europe.
His case studies also consider the role played by contemporary
media and popular culture in these debates, including film,
television, music and the press.
