Abstract
In previous chapters we have seen that black and ethnic minority groups have by no means been passive political actors during the past four decades, and that they have been an active political force over such issues as immigration policy, race relations policies, social policies and policing. In Chapter 6 we looked at some aspects of the experience of urban unrest in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and explored the ideological and policy responses to this phenomenon.

Guide to Further Reading
The experience of urban unrest and social change during the 1980s has led to a growing interest in the politics of protest and violent unrest. For an up-to-date review of some of the main issues see the papers in J. Benyon and J. Solomos (eds) (1987). For other perspectives see: M. Kettle and L. Hodges (1982) and H. Joshua and T. Wallace (1983). A discussion of some of the major problems in some popular discussions of urban unrest can be found in M. Keith (1987).
