There are many reasons why issues raised by the study of races and racisms should be central to the concerns of cultural studies. Yet racist ideologies and racial conflicts have been ignored, both in historical writing and in accounts of the present. If nothing else, this book should be taken as a signal that this marginalization cannot continue. It has also been conceived as a corrective to the narrowness of the English left whose version of the national-popular continues to deny the role of blacks and black struggles in the making and the remaking of the working class.
