Book Reviews of Imagining the New Britain
Book Review: Very Thought Provoking
Summary: 4 Stars
`Imagining the New Britain' is a very intelligent look at the racial climate in Britain today. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown looks at the history of ethnic minorities in Britain and then goes on to highlight the many inadequacies in our society which still permits racial inequality to be a major issue and problem. Her chapters on history, politics, the press and education are truly first-rate. But she never really gets to grips with the problems of the visual media and her chapters on feminism seem a little confused and contradictory (which, in fact, is probably a reflection of the current state of feminism).
I'd encourage everyone to give these wise and important insights a read. If everyone were to take on board the lessons that Alibhai-Brown has to teach then we really could begin to change society for the better.
