This is a thoroughly ecletic race relations study as a whole, yet a kind of order does emerge. An analysis of the data from the three areas [ two big London boroughs and a Northern city in England-all with a mixed community] shows that interesting general trends emerge which points to the future for serious consideration in the area of race relations in Britain.
