New Geographies of Race and Racism

Overview

In recent years geographers interested in ethnicity, race and racism have extended their focus from examining geographies of segregation and racism to exploring cultural politics, social practice and everyday geographies of identity and experience. This edited collection illustrates this new work and includes research on youth and new ethnicities; the contested politics of race and racism; intersections of ethnicity, religion and race and the theorisation and interrogation of whiteness.

Case Studies

Case studies from the UK and Ireland focus on the intersections of race and nation and the specificities of place in discourses of racilisation and identity.

Methodological Approaches

A key feature of the book is its engagement with a range of methodological approaches to examining the significance of race including ethnography, visual methodologies and historical analysis.
