Publisher's Synopsis
Well established as the essential and reliable source of statistical information on black people in Britain, Britain's Black Population has been updated and revised to take account of recent government statistics and research findings on issues related to society, welfare and the individual. - - The central theme is that different ethnic minority communities are at different points of development in terms of both disadvantage and achievements. The book emphasises the need to evolve sensitive but bold approaches which draw inspiration from a variety of existing and relatively effective models for community development and counter discrimination. - - Areas covered include health and social services, housing, education and racial discrimination. The book will prove an invaluable source of information for those involved in research, planning, administration, social work, teaching, trade unions and community work.
