ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION This chapter will address the development of anti-racist consciousness amongst public educationalists on Tyneside, a metropolitan conurbation in North East England. It begins by introducing the growth of 'race' equality initiatives in 'white' localities and explaining why anti-racist consciousness in these areas cannot be adequately conceptualized as having been imported from more 'multiracial' places. The rest of the chapter is devoted to the examination of the ideological characteristics of the anti-racist ideas and strategies expressed by a group of Tyneside interVIewees.
