This book examines the ways in which words such as "race" and "racism" are employed. Professor Banton adopts a comparative approach in discussing race relations and provides an introduction to the new and rather more technical vocabulary which permits a firmer grasp of the complexities than the words and images of popular discourse allow.;"Racial Consciousness" has been specifically written for students taking introductory courses in social sciences. However, its approach to this hotly disputed subject should also make it a valuable introduction for all those, such as teachers, who have a professional interest in race relations.
