Ali Meghji is a Lecturer in Social Inequalities in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge
'A tour de force with original arguments, empirical richness and theoretical ambition, all presented in a beautifully crafted written narrative.' Les Back is a Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London 'Black middle-class Britannia offers a fascinating portrait of race and class in contemporary London. Using the cultural world as a site to examine inequality, Ali Meghji shows how racial and class boundaries are both understood and navigated in varying ways depending on the identities of middle-class blacks. While some see the existence of middle class blacks as evidence that Britain is now color-blind, Black middle-class Britannia provides a timely and in depth counterpoint to this view.' Patricia A. Banks, Associate Professor of Sociology, Mount Holyoke College -- .
