Stephen Lawrence's murder led to the widest review of institutional racism seen in the UK. Sections of the white working-class communities near the scene of the murder, however, were deeply hostile to multiculturalist initiatives. Drawing on extensive research, the book relates these phenomena to the 'backlash' to multiculturalism internationally evident.
