Description
This study explores the political implications of racial issues in Britain since 1958. It focuses not on the social origins or historical roots of racism, but on the political dimensions of race and specifically the dilemmas this area of public policy has raised for the Conservative and Labour parties in the last three decades. The author links the Conservative and Labour parties' neglect of racial issues to the post-war political consensus, which, he argues, excluded race from the political agenda. He charts the evolution and erosion of this consensus on race and the renewal of party competition on the issue in the 1980s. The book concludes with a discussion of the prospects for non-white political representation in the years to come.
