This invaluable book provides a concise summary of social divisions by 'race' in Britain, detailing the experiences and life chances of black individuals across various sectors, including education, labor, health, welfare, housing, and the criminal justice system. It explores general issues of 'race' and racism through quantifiable data while offering demographic insights into specific minority ethnic groups. Additionally, it situates 'race' within the broader context of societal divisions, particularly class and gender. Utilizing both official statistics and alternative research, this up-to-date survey contributes to ongoing discussions about the effectiveness of antiracist policies, the prevalence of racism, and migration patterns in Europe. It poses critical questions about migration trends, educational performance of Bangladeshi children, and mental health diagnoses among Afro-Caribbeans. An introductory essay critically examines the challenges of using official statistics related to 'race', addressing the rationale behind data collection and the interpretation of these statistics. This resource is essential for anyone interested in racial discrimination in British society, including students and practitioners in sociology, education, social policy, and medicine, as well as those involved in equal opportunities initiatives.
