Ethnic and Racial Consciousness Paperback - 1997 - 2nd Edition
by Michael Banton
From the rear cover
Review of the first edition
Banton has written an insightful introductory text of inestimable value to those of us who must confront the myriad popular prejudices about race which today s students bring to the classroom. Professor Donald Will, Chapman College
Ethnic and Racial Consciousness is a completely revised version of the highly acclaimed first edition published in 1988. At that time no one expected the former Yugoslavia would break up with the brutal slaughter of neighbour by neighbour. Few would have predicted the horrific massacres in Rwanda and Burundi which have led to accusations of genocide. The ending of the cold war has been followed by struggles in the former Soviet Union in which one group has struggled for dominance and the other for independence. Ethnic conflict is now one of the main threats to peace in the contemporary world.
This new edition offers an up-to-date introduction to the many issues surrounding our definition and understanding of ethnic and racial difference, racism and discrimination in general.Key features for this edition include:
* New preface on some of the consequences of the fall of the Berlin Wall * Update on the transformation of South African politics
* New material on developments in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and Burundi * Comparative analysis of British, French and German views of nationality, immigration and
asylum * New chapter on the international oversight of state policies against racial discrimination
Though Ethnic and Racial Consciousness should appeal to the general reader with an interest in ethnic and racial relations, it has been written to meet the needs of students taking courses as part of sociology, social policy, social work, politics and European Studies degrees. It covers aspects of the topic that have been overlooked in many other course books.
Professor Michael Banton is currently chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Before his retirement he was Head of Department of Sociology in the University of Bristol. He has also served as President of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland.
