'A pioneering and important study.' David Denver, University of
Lancaster 'This study is long overdue. It will inevitably attract a
great deal of interest.' James Mitchell, University of Sheffield
'The debates on ethnic minority electoral participation have been
bedevilled by methodological problems and political disputes.
Shamit Saggar's sensitive analysis and careful use of the British
Election Study data make this an important and authoritative
contribution to the understanding of ethnic minority politics." Zig
Layton-Henry, University of Warwick The central concern of "Race
and Representation" is the political integration of Britain's
ethnic minorities. The book provides a direct and extensive
comparison between the voting behaviour of ethnic minorities and
the electorate as a whole. The book pioneers innovative use of the
British Election Study and features the results of the 1997 ethnic
minority election study. It also contains an in-depth look at party
strategy with regard to ethnic minorities, ethnic minority
attitudes on key issues and policies, and the lessons to be learned
from the performance of black and Asian parliamentary candidates.
In particular, the analysis aims to uncover whether electoral
abstention, orientation towards issues and party alignment are
primarily circumstantial, as existing research suggests is the case
among the white population. It is a major re-examination of the
role of ethnicity in shaping political outlook and voting choice.
The book will be essential reading for students, teachers and
scholars interested in the involvement of Britain's ethnic
minorities in the democratic process. It will also have extensive
appeal among activists, policy-makers and opinion formers concerned
with ethnic diversity, race relations and political inclusion.
