It has to change: An interview with Martha Osamor
Martha Osamor, now 75, is one of the many unsung heroes of Britain's black community, and has spent almost all her adult life fighting to better the position of people in Tottenham and beyond. She came to Britain in 1963, and has worked in the community, through the unions, in the women's movement, in the local council and the Labour Party (which, controversially, deselected her from standing for a safe seat in 1989). Undeterred, Martha is still …
I don't have a life to live: Deaths and UK detention
The Institute of Race Relations has over the last twenty-three years been monitoring the 508 deaths in custody in suspicious circumstances of individuals from BME, migrant and refugee communities, which rarely make the headlines and for which no person is ever convicted (to be published as the report Dying for Justice). Here, in an extract, the author examines the culture of racism and the impact of privatisation and sub-contracting in the detent…
Investigated or ignored? An analysis of race-related deaths since the Macpherson Report
Since the publication of the Macpherson Report in February 1999, there have been at least ninety-three deaths with a known or suspected racial element in the UK.

Particular groups of BME people are at risk - asylum seekers, new migrants, students and those working in the night-time economy. In only a q…
Driven to despair: Asylum deaths in the UK
The authors examine recent research from the Institute of Race Relations, which documents the deaths of over 200 asylum seekers and undocumented migrants who have lost their lives trying to reach the UK or in work-related accidents, as a result of racial attacks and, most often, as a result of self-harm, especially in detention centres
Commentary
From April to July 2001, the northern English towns of Oldham, Burnley and Bradford saw violent confrontations between young Asians and the police, culminating in the clashes of 7–9 July in Bradford in which 200 police officers were injured. The clashes were prompted by racist gangs attacking Asian communities and the failure of the police to provide protection from this threat. In the scale of the damage caused and the shock they delivered to th…
