Alastair Bonnett sets racial representation and anti-racism in their wider political context and then focuses on the ambiguities and political characteristics of race equality consciousness among public educators. Bonnett also addresses the contemporary crisis of racial and political representation among anti-racists and radicals. He shows that there is no one anti-racism but that different ideals and assumptions have been arrived at within different historical and geographical contexts--both multi-racial and white. Bonnett suggests that this intellectual plurality provides a resource for those wishing to rethink anti-racism in light of its contemporary malaise.
