In 2001, Britain saw another summer of rioting in its cities, with
violent uprisings in Oldham, Burnley and Bradford. This book
explores the reasons for those riots and explains why they mark a
new departure in Britain's racial politics. Riots involving racial
factors are nothing new in Britain. Historically violent uprisings
could be blamed on heavy policing of predominantly minority
communities, but the riots of 2001 were more complex. With elements
of 1950s-style race riots and echoes of the 1980s riots which saw
South Asians confronting the police as the adversary, the spread of
unrest in 2001 was also clearly linked to poverty, unemployment and
the involvement of the political far-right. Linking original
empirical research conducted amongst the Pakistani community in
Bradford with a sophisticated conceptual analysis, this book will
be required reading for courses on race and ethnicity, social
movements and policing public order.
