This work examines racialization and the discourses with which it co-joined. It returns to debates of the 1980s, arguing that events in the decade were intertwined with conservative perspectives which denied socio-economic causes in favour of supposed cultural or personal proclivities.
This book develops the concept of racialisation. It argues that a full understanding of racialized discourse must pay attention to both the particular local circumstances in which they appear, and well-established themes which have unfolded over time. An important aspect of the study is the examination of other discourses with which racialized ideas have co-joined, reflecting the way in which notions of ''race'' are socially constructed. The final part of the book returns to debates of the 1980s and argues that the racialisation of unrest in that decade was closely intertwined with conservative perspectives which sought to deny socio-economic causes in favour of explanations based upon the supposed cultural or personal proclivities of those involved.
