brap has launched a new book all about the black and minority ethnic third sector – its roots, the political context in which it operates, the challenges it faces, and its future development.
As well as being a useful resource for people working with or for BME third sector organisations, The Pied Piper is a provocative and enjoyable account of the last 60 years of race relations – a good read as well as a good resource.
Offering a better understanding of the BME sector and its development, The Pied Piper has already received acclaim from a variety of sources. Nelarine Cornelius, Professor of Human Resource Management and Organization Studies at Bradford University, described the book as “an excellent overview of modern race relations – extremely useful to anyone wanting to know why the BME third sector is the way it is.”
Roger Zetter, Professor of Refugee Studies at Oxford University, said: “The Pied Piper is a readable introduction to the BME third sector moves away from simple narratives to explode some myths about black and minority ethnic communities and their chequered relations with policy makers.”
Our CEO Joy was on the radio over the weekend debating whether the government should focus its efforts on tackling inequality arising from class rather than race. You can listen to the debate below, introduced by Kwame Kwei-Armah.
If you read our reaction to John Denham's recent comments, you might be asking yourself whether the government should be focusing on class instead of race as it tries to tackle inequality and discrimination. Our CEO Joy Warmington will be discussing this issue and more with a panel of experts on BBC WM's Joe Aldred show on Saturday night. Tune in at eight.
