About the Book
Along with many other disciplines, race and ethnicity studies has had its theoretical agenda questioned over recent years. In Race, Ethnicity and Social Theory John Solomos introduces the reader to the key issues and contemporary debates that surround our understanding of race.
By analyzing underlying themes from the major theoretical texts on ethnicity and difference, this book explores the controversies and anxieties which exist in current social theories of race. It suggests the importance of rethinking our approach to questions about race and ethnicity in an age where political and social identities are becoming ever more complex and plural. The book thoroughly reconsiders race, identity, cultural and social change, and explores what is necessary to construct a politics based on plurality and multiculturalism.
