Summary

This book suggests that concepts of race have all but lost their relevance as sociologically significant descriptions. It provides a survey of the ways in which social scientists have attempted to come to terms with this situation, before developing an alternative approach based on recent work by realist authors.

Author Biography

Bob Carter is Lecturer at the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations, University of Warwick.
