Race and Ethnicity in Modern Britain

Covering a key topic in sociology, this book is a thorough and lively introduction to race and ethnicity in contemporary British society. This edition explores the most recent data on race and ethnicity and includes a new chapter on the criminal justice system. David Mason, one of Britain's leading sociologists of race and ethnicity, addresses key topics such as employment, education, housing, health, criminal justice, and political representation. Throughout the book he emphasises the diversity of experience in modern Britain for different ethnic groups, and examines how these experiences are further mediated by class and gender.
