‘Racism Runs Riot’ by BSC Blogger of the year
Dr Lambros Fatsis 

‘Newspaper headlines and Twitter feeds are abuzz with commentaries on England’s recent ‘riots’. Rather than an aberration, or the product of the British far-right, however, they are evidence of a longer history of racism that is essential to our understanding of them’.

If you want to submit an article for the blog, please contact us on info@britsoccrim.org
