A recent essay collection from British Future and Bright Blue opens with these words:
While there has been progress on racial equality in Britain in recent decades, there is still an unacceptable gap in the life chances and everyday experiences of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Yet political debate on race in the UK is stuck in polarised arguments
With forewords from across the political spectrum, the publication aims to cut through the polarised debate on race by demonstrating ambitious and actionable changes to policy and practice.
