By investigating the narratives of everyday life, Identity, Belonging and Migration provides some understanding of the many socio-political, historical, discursive and socio-cognitive processes involved in expressions of everyday racism in European countries. Consisting of three parts, the book provides a contextual understanding of European society past and present, foregrounding race and discrimination’s place within it. Part one of the text analyses the theoretical perspectives on belonging within a European context, part two addresses the exclusionary discourses and practices of states and their institutions, and part three concludes the book with four thematic discussions on violence, resistance, Islamophobia in the Netherlands, and racism in the education system.Less

More
Work and Community Among West African Migrant Workers since the Nineteenth Century uncovers a fascinating chapter of British and West African social history by re-telling the forgotten history of the Kru, a group of West African labourers and seafarers who formed a significant component of British colonial trade. The study traces the Kru’s migrational flight from their original home in Liberia to Sierra Leone, and finally to the port of Liverpool, and addresses their position as ‘twice migrants’. Drawing extensively on oral accounts given by the Kru themselves in both Liverpool and West Africa, Frost examines the group’s presence in the British colony of Sierra Leone, and emphasises their contributions to British Colonial trade with West Africa. The book also studies the presence of the black and African community in Britain, and explores their presence in British mercantile trade before the mass migrations of New-Commonwealth immigrants in the post-war period. Work and Community Among West African Migrant Workers since the Nineteenth Century provides a rich and fascinating account of the Kru experience in both the pre- and post-war periods, and demonstrates that the Kru are a group that have remained largely absent from histories of the black presence in Britain.Less
