Ethnicity and racial relations are almost universally seen as a prime motivating force behind social conflict and change. Often volatile and complex, racial interaction resonates through all aspects of contemporary society. Social issues which appear to have little connection to race often become entagled with ethnic friction to create far more complex problems. Race is often used by individuals and political organizations to further their own objectives.
Since the 1994 publication of the third edition of this acclaimed reference book there have been enormous changes in the area of race and ethnic relations throughout the world. The Dictionary of Race and Ethnic Relations deals with these changes through in-depth articles which both define and analyze the terms. For this edition, there has been a total revision of existing entries and many new entries that take account of developments in society and intellectual trends.
Features include:
• Fully updated lists of further reading and cross-references.
* New entries include: Black feminism, Causes celebres, Environmental racism, Hybridity, Postcolonialism
* Invaluable teaching and reference tool for students at all levels

Dictionary of race and ethnic relations
White Mughals is the story of a romance but really it is the story of a moment in time when England and India explored each others' worlds and cultures with great delight and mutual admiration. And sadly, it is also the story of how everything changed in less than a generation.
This is the sort of book that demolishes all of your old notions of 'how it happened'. I read into the wee hours of the night and as I finished the book this morning I instantly went back to the beginning to work my way through the copious (and fascinating) footnotes.
Anyone with a serious interest in the history of the Indian subcontinent, or the British empire, or colonial history in general should read this book.
I was struck by how much damage one man--the Marquess of Wellesley, governor general of India and brother of the Duke of Wellington--managed to do. What a different course history might have taken had men like General William Palmer or William Kirkpatrick held the highest post. But, alas, Wellesley was merely in the vanguard of a new generation whose interest lay not in exploration and trade, but rather in establishing Britain as the dominant world power at the center of a vast empire.
