Why and how do those from black and minority ethnic communities continue to be marginalized? Despite claims that we now live in a post-racial society, race continues to disadvantage those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Kalwant Bhopal examines the shift in recent years from overt to covert racism. She explores how neoliberal policy-making has increased rather than decreased discrimination faced by those from non-white backgrounds. She also shows how certain types of whiteness is privileged, whilst other white identities, Gypsies and Travelers for example, remain marginalized and disadvantaged in society. Drawing on topical debates around education, the labor market, class and poverty, and supported by empirical data and conceptual underpinning, this important book examines the impact of race on wider issues of inequality and difference in society
