Abstract

Véronique de Rudder, Paul Goodwin, Racism in Great Britain : Theories and debates This article reviews the field of "race relations'' research in the UK since the 1950s. In contrast to France where research on racism is dominated by migration issues, the overwhelming focus in Britain is on the "race and ethnic relations" paradigm in which migration is peripheral. The most important theories and debates in the UK are surveyed, focusing chronologically on questions of discrimination and institutional racism ; the development of theories of "race" and ethnic relations by key theorists including Michael Banton and John Rex ; Marxist critiques and political economy approaches ; and recent work in the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies.
