Racism and Austerity

Tory Ideology, Migrants, Muslims and the Working Class

About this book

This powerful book analyses racism within Britain's Tory Party along with its immigration policies and imposition of austerity, exposing how 14 years of Tory rule deepened inequality and division.

With vivid examples, from the Windrush scandal and Grenfell tragedy to Islamophobia, Cole reveals how "hostile environment" policies, the "age of austerity" and brutal budget cuts have shaped lives and communities. Combining sharp analysis with historical context, the book uncovers how these issues are deeply tied to capitalism and class struggles.

In the light of the rise of the far right in Britain and offering both immediate solutions and a vision for systemic change, this crucial work challenges us to imagine a fairer, more compassionate society grounded in justice and solidarity.
