Western industrial societies underwent a massive transformation
during the 1980s, and this was particularly noticeable in the older
cities whose economies were based on labour-intensive industry. In
the period following World War II, racial and ethnic minorities who
migrated from overseas, or from the rural areas within the same
country, formed a pool of low-paid labour upon which the prosperity
of the industrial city depended. With the subsequent reorganisation
of these economies, industrial production shifted overseas, while
the new technological industries expanded locally, requiring fewer,
and better skilled workers. The consequence for those seemingly
excluded from the prosperity of the post-industrial age was
disastrous. In this collection of essays, which was published in
1992 and edited by Malcolm Cross, leading authorities compare the
situation of racial minorities in the post-industrial cities of
Europe and North America, and examine ways in which their position
can be ameliorated.
