Title: Racism, Class and the Racialized Outsider
Description: "Racism, Class and the Racialized Outsider offers an original perspective on the significance of both racism and anti-racism in the making of the English working class. While racism became a powerful structuring force within this social class from as early as the mid-Victorian period, this book also traces the episodic emergence of currents of working class anti-racism. Through an insistence that race is central to the way class works, this insightful text demonstrates not only that the English working class was a multi-ethnic formation from the moment of its inception but that racialized outsiders ? Irish Catholics, Jews, Asians and the African diaspora ? often played a catalytic role in the collective action that helped fashion a more inclusive and democratic society." -- from publisher's website.
