Racism & fascism - new material (44)
01 November 2003
Making an impact, Imran Khan. Index on Censorship vol 32 no 4 (October) 2003, pp. 62-66. Considers how the determination of Stephen Lawrence's family "changed the perceptions of British society and exposed the racism at the heart of the country's most powerful institution", the police. Khan compares the experiences of the family with those of the parents of Zahid Mubarek, who was murdered in his prison cell by a racist, and finds disturbing post-MacPherson parallels.
