Ebook: Britain's Black Population: A New Perspective

Well established as the essential and reliable source of statistical information on black people in Britain, Britain’s Black Population has been updated and revised to take account of recent government statistics and research findings on issues related to society, welfare and the individual.

It confronts the issues of race and racism from a black perspective, as experienced in Britain today, and stresses the need for the white majority especially those in positions of power, to challenge their basic assumptions in order to begin the process of diminishing racial inequality.

Areas covered include health, housing, social services and education, relationships with police, equal opportunities, crime and employment. The book will prove an invaluable source of information for those involved in research, planning, administration, social work, teaching, trade unions and community work.
