Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Questions of migration, national and ethnic belonging are of major symbolic significance to Western post-colonial societies in uncertain times. The main focus of this text is the interrelationship of changing representations of race, ethnicity and racism with wider socio-economic, political and cultural transformations.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-170) and index.
