"Linking theoretical analysis with substantive issues, the book focuses on three major concerns: new ways of tackling popular cultures of racism, the histories of previously marginalized racisms - and sexisms, and the impact of changing patterns of migration on the local/global city."--BOOK JACKET. "Combining the theoretical with the empirical, and academic analysis with oral testimony, the book is essential reading for students and academics in social and cultural theory, geography and ethnic studies."--BOOK JACKET.
