ABSTRACT

British social geographers have produced a series of vivid accounts of race and racism in urban spaces. This includes research on race and residential housing (Smith 1987), urban social segregation (Peach 1975), post-colonial carnival (Jackson 1988), multi-ethnic living (Amin 2002; Keith 2005), Muslim schooling (Dwyer 1993) and neighbourhood discrimination (Phillips 2006; Hopkins 2007), as well as inner-city race and class conflict (Burgess 1985; Keith 1991, 1993). Such studies have provided a strategic intervention in debates on race and migration in the discipline.
