Synopsis
"A welcome and overdue contribution to the field. Identifying a need for an empirical guide to complement the abundant theoretical literature, this book combines a variety of practical avenues of advice with analytical sophistication, without losing any of the subject matter’s complexities. The contextual chapters are well judged and informative, while readers will surely find the careful selection and very clear presentation of the case studies particularly useful in thinking through the projects from start to completion." - Steve Garner, Open University This book offers a one stop guide to the meaning of racism, key studies in the field, core methodologies and an agenda for research for the future.
