Informative and intelligent, this invaluable resource exposes the dangers of racist thought, and why it remains part of our everyday lives.

The book offers an in-depth sociological analysis of anti-racism as both a political discourse and a social movement across western Europe, specifically in Britain, France, Italy, and Ireland. It challenges traditional views that treat anti-racism merely as a counter to racism, instead framing it as a complex discourse vital for understanding modern state politics. The exploration connects current issues of citizenship, immigration, and Europeanization, while addressing the rising state racism against marginalized groups, making it a timely and essential read.

This important new book challenges this familiar narrative of the rise and fall of multiculturalism by challenging the existence of a coherent era of 'multiculturalism' in the first place. The authors argue that what we are witnessing is not so much a rejection of multiculturalism as a rejection of lived multiculture.
