Description
Ethnicity and racial relations are almost universally seen as a prime motivating force behind social conflict and change. Often volatile and complex, racial interaction resonates through all aspects of contemporary society. Social issues which appear to have little connection to race often become entagled with ethnic friction to create far more complex problems. Race is often used by individuals and political organizations to further their own objectives.
Since the 1994 publication of the third edition of this acclaimed reference book there have been enormous changes in the area of race and ethnic relations throughout the world. The Dictionary of Race and Ethnic Relations deals with these changes through in-depth articles which both define and analyze the terms. For this edition, there has been a total revision of existing entries and many new entries that take account of developments in society and intellectual trends.
Features include: * Fully updated lists of further reading and cross-references.
* New entries include: Black feminism, Causes celebres, Environmental racism, Hybridity, Postcolonialism
* Invaluable teaching and reference tool for students at all levels

Description
Race relations are the central issue which faces society at the end of the 20th-century. What makes race so intractable? Why are the problems so resilient to policies programmes. Since publication of the third edition of this text, events have continually changed how race is viewed. The O.J.Simpson trial, the division of the former Yugoslavia along ethnic lines, the bombing of the Alfred Murran Federal Building and the subsequent attention paid to right-wing extremists in the United States, have all affected how the issues surrounding race are reported in the media and studied in the classroom. This edition includes revision of the entries and new entries - black feminism, causes celebres, environmental racism, and hybridity.
