Eyre and Eton in Camden
This article analyses the colonial histories of three north London housing estates. A kilometre apart from each other and built under different social policy conditions, Hilgrove, Chalcots, and Alexandra Road Estates all share colonial histories. We trace the role of the slave-holding Eyre Estate in influencing the architecture of Hilgrove Estate; uncover how the Eyre Estate clashed with residents and the London Borough of Camden over Alexandra R…

Social housing as a social infrastructure
This paper examines social housing as an “infrastructure of social infrastructures” through a case study of playgrounds on the Hilgrove Estate, north London. Drawing on ethnographic research, surveys and creative interventions, we interrogate normative assumptions about social infrastructure – particularly the claim that “good” infrastructure produces “good” sociality. While Eric Klinenberg’s influential work positions playgrounds as sites of loo…
Moving forward, looking back
This article explores the history and growth of the journal Ethnic and Racial Studies over the last fifty years. In celebrating its 50th anniversary, it highlights how the field of racial and ethnic studies has broadened and progressed, emphasising the journal's role in supporting and influencing this development. We review important milestones, key debate topics, the globalisation of research in this area, and notable shifts in research scope. T…
What’s in a hyphen? Insights from the field on co-production as methodology
Drawing on our study of refugee women’s urban mobilities, we examine the mechanisms and infrastructure of arts-based co-production in geography. While co-productive approaches are often celebrated for their transformative potential, we interrogate this promise through a series of workshops culminating in a co-produced film with nine women who received bicycles through the charity, The Bike Project. We ask how the ‘co’ in co-production may obscure…

Antiracism II
In this Introduction, we outline the key issues addressed in this themed issue. Given the focus of this themed issue on bringing together several case studies of antiracist policies and practices, we specifically examine the role of organisations and mobilisations in shaping antiracist practices, policies and imaginaries. We suggest that valuable lessons can be learned by exploring connections across different national, local and regional levels.…

New Labour’s White Heart
Introduction
In this paper, we set the scene for this special issue by outlining the main concerns that underlie the study of migrant politics and related forms of social and political mobilization. We begin by examining the changing ways in which migrant and minority politics and mobilization have been articulated in recent decades, exploring key facets of the intersections between forms of migrant and minority mobilization and the wider social and political…
Race, Immigration and Asylum
Les AA. se proposent d'analyser les politiques du New Labour concernant la race et la migration en Grande-Bretagne. Ils soutiennent que, meme s'il y a eu des glissements dans ces politiques - par exemple du multiculturalisme a la cohesion sociale, et vers la promotion d'une migration selective et un renforcement des attitudes envers les demandeurs d'asile -, ces glissements demeurent en concordance avec une croyance partagee collectivement apres …

Beyond the racist/hooligan couplet
This paper draws on recent research to explore the changing cultures of racism in English football. Starting from a critical analysis of key themes in the literature on football it seeks to show that existing analytical frameworks need to be reworked if they are going to adequately account for the complex forms through which racism is expressed in contemporary football cultures. In the course of this analysis we question some of the ways in which…

The Return of Assimilationism
This paper develops a critique of the politics of race and multiculturalism under New Labour. It argues that as a political formation New Labour is fraught with incommensurable impulses and commitment with regard to issues of multiculturalism, nationalism, racial justice and racism. While there have been palpable shifts and important new legislative initiatives, one of the consequences is that the project of assimilation has been reinvigorated un…
Conceptualising Racisms
This paper explores the changing terms of debate about race and racism in contemporary social and political theory. It focuses attention on criticisms of what is often called the 'race relations problematic', and looks at some of the critical approaches that have emerged in the past decade. By looking at the questions addressed in the debates of the 1980s and the 1990s, it outlines some of the issues which researches have to address in developing…
Families, Ethnicity and Social Capital
In this paper we outline some key aspects of the relationship between ethnicity and social capital in contemporary British society. This is a question that has begun to attract a good deal of attention in recent times, particularly in the context of public debate about the changing position of ethnic minority groups and migrant communities within an increasingly multicultural society. We begin by looking at the ways in which the relationship betw…
Doing research, writing politics
What are the ethical and political dilemmas faced in carrying out research on racism? This paper explores this question by drawing on our fieldwork experience in the course of doing research on the local politics of race in Birmingham. The initial premise is that it is impossible to see research in this field as simply an information-gathering process. Rather we argue that it is important to see how researcher and researched interact, the identit…
Introduction
The changing boundaries of the study of ethnicity and race have been the subject of much debate in recent years. New theoretical debates have come to the fore and empirical research has broached new questions. Taking its cue from the wide range of themes covered in this special issue, this article seeks to map out some of the key areas in which this transformation has become apparent and to highlight the implications for ethnic and race relations…
Race, Immigration and Politics in Britain
This article provides a description and interpretation of a series of key issues, debates and questions around immigration and race in Britain between the 1940s and the early 2000s. We highlight these issues and characterize some of the major theoretical models (and concepts) that have been deployed to interpret and explain them. Our primary concern here is with the main policies that helped to construct and frame immigration policies and the key…

During the past few decades one of the key issues that has come to the fore, be it in political, media or social discourses, is the question of the position of migrants in various parts of the worl
Race, Rumours and Riots
The riots of August 2011 have led to renewed discussion about the conditions that help to shape outbreaks of urban unrest. The role of race and ethnicity in the riots is one of the factors that has been discussed, although it has received relatively little attention when compared to earlier riots in 1981 and 1985. This paper argues that it is important to avoid easy generalisations about the role of race in the events of August 2011. It then expl…

Black politics and social change in Birmingham, UK
Over the past two decades the racialization of key aspects of British political life has become apparent both locally and nationally. This article seeks to examine the dynamics of this process by analysing the changing patterns of racial politics in Birmingham, UK. It addresses two main issues. First, the process through which ethnic minorities have mobilized in the context of local politics. Second, the responses of political parties to racial a…

The Caribbean Diaspora
The Caribbean remains an important point of reference in contemporary debates about diaspora, postcolonialism, and much else. In this introductory essay to this Special Issue we argue that the Caribbean is more than any other part of the contemporary world - both at its core and in its outward dimensions - a precursor of several themes in the energetic pursuit of modernity: capitalism/industrialism, de-tribalization/individualization, plural iden…
Rights and Wrongs across European Borders
Among the key issues in contemporary political debates across Europe are questions relating to migration, to the social and political rights of migrants and minorities and how these questions relate to new forms of citizenship in specific national contexts as well as across Europe as a whole. In this paper we want to explore the changing dynamics of debates about citizenship, migration, inclusion and exclusion in four European countries—Britain, …
Social Movements of Irregular Migrants, Recognition, and Citizenship
Irregular migration is an important issue in contemporary societies. This article explores the changing position of irregular migrants from two angles. First, we analyse the impact of irregular migration on conceptions of rights and citizenship. This is of particular interest at a time when even the rights of ‘regular’ migrants are subject to much debate and analysis. Second, we analyse the role of mobilisations by irregular migrants and their su…

Introduction to Race Relations
Problems, But Whose Problems
The issue of black youth unemployment has become a central aspect of government race relations policies over the last few years, particularly in the aftermath of the 1981 street disturbances. This paper attempts to locate the various stages of response to this question, both at the level of ideology and of policy. It argues that although the policies pursued have been legitimized as helping young blacks, they have failed to mount an effective res…
Varieties of Marxist conceptions of ‘race’, class and the state
It is a commonplace that the reliance of Marxist theory on the pivotal concepts of mode of production and class, along with the preoccupation with general models of historical development, has precluded Marxists from making a significant contribution to the study of racial and ethnic divisions within capitalist society. The relative absence of a substantive discussion of these questions within the texts of classical Marxism seems to add weight to…

This article examines the seeming contradiction between the publicly stated objective of successive governments to promote greater equality of opportunity for racial minorities and the limited impact of successive policies and programmes on processes of racial discrimination and exclusion in British society.
