Despite claims that we now live in a post-racial society, race continues to disadvantage those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Kalwant Bhopal 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 are not privileged; Gypsies and Travellers, for example, remain marginalised and disadvantaged in society. Drawing on topical debates and supported by empirical data, this important book examines the impact of race on wider issues of inequality and difference in society.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"... offers a captivating rebuttal to the logics of post-racialism in public discourse that shore up whiteness as a hegemonic force on both sides of the Atlantic... an accessible contemporary primer on whiteness and white privilege that should be read by students and scholars of education, institutional racism and critical race studies." Sociology<br><br>"...those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are consistently disadvantaged... Bhopal connects this inequality to neoliberalism in ways I hadn't considered before."
