In the new arena for anti-racist work in which we find ourselves,
the neo-liberal, 'post-race' university, this interdisciplinary
collection demonstrates common global political concerns about
racism in Higher Education. It highlights a range of issues
regarding students, academic staff and knowledge systems, and all
of the contributions seek to challenge the complacency of the
'post-race' present that is dominant in North-West Europe and North
America, Brazil's mythical 'racial democracy' and South Africa's
post-apartheid 'rainbow nation'. The collection makes clear that we
are not yet past the need for anti-racist institutional action
because of the continuing impact of coloniality on and in these
nations. Chapter 7 of this book is freely available as a
downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons

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.

This volume examines the transformation of politics and social
movements at various levels. Starting with a transformation of
identity within social movements, it goes on to discuss changes in
the scale of social movement mobilization. The impact of social
movements on the state is also considered, with a particular focus
upon the ways in which the state is able to incorporate apparently
radical political agendas. Finally, the book examines those
intellectual and theoretical debates stimulated by recent political
transformations.

Although South Asian women are one of the most socially excluded
groups in the UK, their numbers at university have increased
rapidly in recent years. This report seeks to understand why they
are entering university in larger numbers and the impact of this on
their lives."The role of higher education in providing
opportunities for South Asian women" explores the experiences of
Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani women at university. It considers
the role of families in shaping choices about local universities
and which A-levels and degree subjects to study; vbTab]how
community expectations about marriage interact with plans for
university; the financial strategies of South Asian women students
for funding their education; experiences of racism and Islamophobia
inside and outside education and the diversity of the experiences
of education among South Asian women, in terms of class, ethnicity
and religion.The report is aimed at policy communities and
academics with an interest in education, ethnicity and gender. It
contains new findings relevant to diversity, equality and widening
participation in universities.
The authors analyze the ways in which places have been transformed
through the changes taking place within them - shifts in the nature
and quantity of paid and unpaid work, in social and political
mobilization, in cultural and aesthetic experience and in the built
environment. Using a locality study of Lancaster, they emphasize
place as a decisive point in understanding social and economic
changes. They consider how successfully concepts of `restructuring'
explain the relation between local and global change. The book will
be a major contribution to international debates on restructuring
and the impact of global change on the locality. It will also be of
interest to all social scientists interested in the sociology,
economy and human geography of contemporary Britain.
