Thank you Nirmal. That letter is included in the link I sent. It is very good and a much needed response. If members would like to respond, this email list is available for organising it.

Best,
Aaron

A number of sociologists who work on race have been disturbed by the article which appeared in The Guardian, not least of all because it rehearses the old race v class language of victimology in dichotomous terms with Powellite resonances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw4vMZDItQo


As a part of this discussion, a short version of a much longer response, co-written by Julia O'Connell-Davidson, Yasmin Gunaratnam and Bridget Anderson, has been published


Here's the letter:

Subject: [BSA-RACE] Guardian Article

Dear All,

The Guardian recently published this piece by Lisa Mckenzie: 'The refugee crisis will hit the UK's working class areas hardest'. It has received a lot of attention and critical-negative response, and I think it is something that BSA Race and Ethnicity study group and email list members should know about (those who do not already). I am including a link to the article (not an endorsement) and a link to responses to it in the letter section.

Article: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/sep/16/refugee-crisis-hit-uk-working-class-powerless

Letters: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/21/refugee-crisis-the-tug-of-war-between-hospitality-and-prejudice?CMP=share_btn_tw

Best,
Aaron
