Anotace:	Blending cultural studies and political analysis, this interdisciplinary text both illuminates and moves forward debates over 'race' and its meanings in contemporary society and in educational and social policy. How is the concept `race' produced and sustained within society? How do notions of `us and `them' and `inclusion' and `exclusion', `centre' and `margin' originate and operate? The book insists on the centrality of culture to an understanding of `race', although not in the essentialist version of either the old multiculturalism or the `new racism'. Linking up in fascinating ways with feminist, post-structuralist and postmodernist concerns in recent social and cultural theory, it examines the contribution of ideas such as `ethnicity', `community', `identity' and `difference'. Contributors present a sustained yet sympathetic critique of the organized forms of antiracism that have come to dominate educational policy. Their new approaches also begin to define an alternative agenda sensitive both to the problems and the possibilities of difference. A successful balance of important recent artcles and substantial contributions specially written for this text, `Race', Culture and Difference will be essential reading for teachers and students of sociology, cultural studies and education, and for all those concerned with discrimination and with antiracist policy. Although based in the British context, it addresses theoretical concerns common to other Western societies. An Open University Reader for the course `Race', Education and Society.
