Since the late 1950s John Rex has been at the forefront of British
sociology and in particular the sociology of 'race' and ethnicity.
His research and books have spawned debate and discussion in the
fields of social and political theory, housing studies, education
and the experiences of Muslim minorities. This volume charts the
nature, direction and significance of John Rex's work in the fields
of urban sociology, ethnic relations and multicultural studies. As
well as identifying important and persistent points of controversy
the book also reveals much common ground and the potential for a
multi-faceted approach to the theorisation of 'race' and ethnicity.
"Immigration and Race Relations" includes contributions from
eminent thinkers from the perspectives of sociology, social
anthropology, education, philosophy, political science and cultural
studies.
This book, first published in 1983, examines why people prefer to
talk about immigrants or ethnic minorities when they are referring
to differences marked not by the migratory process of ethnicity,
but by skin colour. How, without mentioning racial criteria, have
politicians managed to introduce immigration controls deliberately
aimed at reducing the number of black migrants? This book
identifies a central feature of British political life: the ability
to justify racially discriminatory behaviour without recourse to
explicit racist language. It gives an account of British racial
ideology as it is practically experienced in the form of political
discourse and helps to provide a theoretical understanding of its
relationship to the social structure as a whole and in particular
its relationship to inter- and intra-class divisions. The author
argues that traditional class-based ideologies are perfectly
capable of supporting racially oppressive institutions and have far
better 'protective' properties than expressions of overt racism. As
a result, the objective structures of British race relations are
obscured by a facade of 'deracialised ideology'.
