New racism

About this book

In this book, Norma Romm offers an in-depth comparison of different definitions that have been given of new racism - that is, of more "hidden" and covert forms of racism across the globe. She delves into, while offering suggestions for extending, a range of research styles that have been used to approach the field. With careful reference to examples, she concentrates on spelling out ways in which those generating inquiries can cater specifically for the possible impactful involvement of their research in the continuing unfolding of emergent social realities, of which they are part. The book offers a comprehensive overview of debates in relation to new racism and how this might be explored, and should also be helpful for anyone wishing to reconsider methodological and epistemological debates in the social sciences and their implications for social and political practice.
