Racismo, clase y el paria racializado: Irlandeses, judíos, asiáticos y negros en la clase obrera británica
Racismo, clase y el paria racializado es un análisis crítico de los esfuerzos de la clase obrera para conseguir justicia económica y social, y democratizar la sociedad británica. Sin embargo, a diferencia de la mayor parte de los estudios de la clase obrera británica, en esta obra se investigan estas luchas políticas y sociales a través del «prisma de la raza».
Haciendo hincapié en que «la raza es un elemento central, no periférico; es parte de cómo funcionan las cosas», pretendo seguir contribuyendo a desestabilizar el consenso académico que equipara la historia y la formación de la clase obrera en Inglaterra al varón obrero blanco.

An excellent and interesting read that reassesses UK history of race and racism and in doing so challenges the manifestations of racist oppression and the structural foundations that sustain it
Particular highlights include:
Stressing how systemic change occurs only when long-established hegemonic domination, which lock in place key fractions of the working class through a combination of coercion and consent, begin to unravel amid sustained conflict and crisis. It is in the course of re-negotiating the settlement that workers become more amenable to alternative narratives or frames through which to understand their social position and the crisis more generally. That is, they begin to peel away from the political consensus that had held firm and shift to the political left and right. That is why such periods of crisis represent a key moment of potential systemic change, although the outcome can never be predicted in advance but is determined by the relations of force
How when socialist nationalists re-imagined the racialised Irish as an integral part of the working class of Britain, they excluded another – the Jews
