- Summary:
- This book traces the legacy of racism across three continents, from its origins to the present day. Mike Cole argues convincingly that racism is both endemic and multi-faceted. In the UK, he examines the effects of colonialism as well as looking at non-colour-coded racism, such as anti-Gipsy, Roma and Traveller racism, and xeno-racism - directed at Eastern Europeans. In the US, Cole charts the dual legacies of indigenous genocide and slavery, as well as exploring anti-Latina/o and anti-Asian racism. Finally, in Australia, he interrogates the idea of 'Terra Nullius' and its impact on the indigenous peoples, as well as other forms of racism, such as that experienced by South Sea Islanders, anti-Asian racism, and that which targets migrants. Islamophobia, antisemitism and anti-Irish racism are also dealt with, as is racism aimed at asylum-seekers. Book jacket.
