[Claire Dwyer,Caroline Bressey] New Geographies of Race and Racism(pdf){Zzzzz}[BЯ]

In recent years geographers interested in ethnicity, 'race' and racism have extended their focus from examining geographies of segregation and racism to exploring cultural politics, social practice and everyday geographies of identity and experience. This edited collection illustrates this new work and includes research on youth and new ethnicities; the contested politics of 'race' and racism; intersections of ethnicity, religion and 'race' and the theorisation and interrogation of whiteness. Case studies from the UK and Ireland focus on the intersections of 'race' and nation and the specificities of place in discourses of racilisation and identity. A key feature of the book is its engagement with a range of methodological approaches to examining the significance of race, including ethnography, visual methodologies and historical analysis.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'This volume will find a firm and deserved place in the literature on geographies of race and racism. It stimulates reflections on geographical, political and policy discourses on race, reminds us of the historicity of ideas about race and racism, draws attention to the microgeographies of everyday life to demonstrate how ideas of race are made and remade, and frames new debates about a "post-race" politics. The essays are thoughtful and incisive, and stimulate questions well beyond Britain.' --This text refers to the Unknown Binding edition.
