Urban Policy and Politics in Britain
Author: Dilys M. HillPublisher: Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN:
Category : Cities and towns
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
British urban policy, born in the optimistic spirit of post-1945 reform, experienced dramatic changes in the last three decades of the 20th century as the political climate shifted from the Keynesian welfare-state consensus to the entrepreneurial, deregulated regime of the Thatcher and Major years. This comprehensive introduction sets the Blair government's legislation and proposals in a clear historical and theoretical framework. It assesses New Labour's claims for the superiority of its "third way" between state and market approaches and the likely prospects for its search for a more inclusive, and more just, city.

Middle-Class Blacks in Britain
Author: Sharon J. DayePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349234206
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This book examines the relationship between race and class and considers how these two concepts articulate to determine class relationships in British society. Daye argues that race in the form of structural racism, plays a significant role at two levels. Firstly, it serves to determine the class position of black labour and secondly, determines the type of race, class and political consciousness generated by black labour in Britain. Using empirical data this volume provides an important contribution to the race/class debate.

The Origins of the Urban Crisis
Author: Thomas J. SugruePublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691121864
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Once America's "arsenal of democracy," Detroit over the last fifty years has become the symbol of the American urban crisis. In this reappraisal of racial and economic inequality in modern America, Thomas Sugrue explains how Detroit and many other once prosperous industrial cities have become the sites of persistent racialized poverty. He challenges the conventional wisdom that urban decline is the product of the social programs and racial fissures of the 1960s. Probing beneath the veneer of 1950s prosperity and social consensus, Sugrue traces the rise of a new ghetto, solidified by changes in the urban economy and labor market and by racial and class segregation. In this provocative revision of postwar American history, Sugrue finds cities already fiercely divided by race and devastated by the exodus of industries. He focuses on urban neighborhoods, where white working-class homeowners mobilized to prevent integration as blacks tried to move out of the crumbling and overcrowded inner city. Weaving together the history of workplaces, unions, civil rights groups, political organizations, and real estate agencies, Sugrue finds the roots of today's urban poverty in a hidden history of racial violence, discrimination, and deindustrialization that reshaped the American urban landscape after World War II. In a new preface, Sugrue discusses the ongoing legacies of the postwar transformation of urban America and engages recent scholars who have joined in the reassessment of postwar urban, political, social, and African American history.
