The years 1965–8 were the 'liberal hour' for race relations policy in Britain. Laws were then enacted, enforcement agencies created, and community relations councils established. These bodies, and their personnel, have been called 'the race relations industry'. To many people, the output of this 'industry' appears disappointing relative to the input into it. This book examines a variety of optimistic assumptions about the speed with which immigrants adjust to a new environment; inadequate minority bargaining power; insufficiently speedy and decisive action by the central government; unwillingness on the part of the white majority to accept the desirability of such action; and the difficulty of fitting a race relations policy into an administrative system created to serve an ethnically homogeneous population. The policies initiated in 1965 reflected the ascendancy of liberal over conservative assumptions about race relations. Now these are under sharp attack from a radical standpoint. Promoting Racial Harmony shows how the debate has changed, drawing upon recent economic theory to formulate the issues in an original but non-technical manner.

Paperback small octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 135 pp. Michael Banton examines race relations policies in Britain, specifically the liberal race relations laws of 1965 and 1968, which created a 'race relations industry'. However, the output has proved disappointing compared to the input into it. Several possible reasons are examined, including over-optimistic assumptions regarding the speed of integration of migrants, bureaucratic resistance, and unwillingness of majority white communities to accept change. Case studies mentioned are Asian Kenyans, the Sikh and Muslim turban disputes, and black consciousness amongst Afro-Caribbeans. The author is professor of sociology, University of Bristol. .
