The New Black Bourgeoisie
研究了英国少数族裔商业阶层的崛起,指出其虽带来希望但物质改善有限,且面临一种新形式的种族主义威胁,即企业主被迫实行“代理种族主义”,故意排斥黑人劳动力。
The emergence of a British ethnic minority business class over the past decade promises much for the future of black people, but may deliver very little in terms of material improvement. Like its U.S. counterpart, which grew in the aftermath of the 1960's disorders, the British Black bourgeoisie is a product of post-riot developments. Many members of Britain's Afro-Caribbean and South Asian populations have lost faith in their power collectively to change society and are focusing on improving themselves as individuals. But a hitherto undetected form of racism threatens to undermine the efforts of the Black bourgeoisie to turn its particular successes into something more permanent for the black population generally. Business owners are forced to practice "racism-by-proxy," deliberately excluding blacks from their workforces.
