ABSTRACT
This book aims to consider new ways of thinking about anti-racism and how they impact on anti-racist political practice. Our aim is to push the debate forward and to intervene in theoretical and political arguments that are of central importance today. We draw on new approaches and theoretical debates relating to, amongst others, citizenship, multiculturalism, hybridity, diaspora and social movements. In so doing, the book explores the extent to which these approaches can offer frameworks that provide some alternative conceptual bases for addressing the problems of racism and anti-racism in Western societies. The book also analyses how these approaches might help us to understand more fully contemporary forms of ethnic conflict and hatred, and how they can provide tools for addressing and combating racism and xenophobia at a broader, international level.
