Summary, etc. While there are many books on race issues, this is the first extended study<br/>to examine race as a factor in international relations,<br/>The waning of white, imperial domination in the second half of this<br/>century has changed the balance of forces and - perhaps even more<br/>important - the ideology of international relations. The white nations are<br/>on the defensive; the black and brown demand recognition of the equality<br/>of races.<br/>The author begins with a discussion of the ideology of white racism, and<br/>describes how it was institutionalised in the USA, the British Empire<br/>and in other European colonies. He examines the major twentieth-century<br/>wars as the catalyst in the break-up of the imperial system. In surveying<br/>the 'post-imperial' development of pressures and conflicts, he pays<br/>particular attention to the United Nations as the arena in which these are<br/>most strongly operative.<br/>He then shows the connection between international relations and the<br/>internal contemporary situation the West, where racial dominance is<br/>exercised within the metropolitan countries that have attracted Third<br/>World labour, and where the United States is wrestling with the demands<br/>of its 'colonised peoples. In analysing the ways and means in which the<br/>Third World probes the weaknesses of the West, he shows how the power-<br/>less may exert pressure on the powerful.<br/>He demonstrates that 'race' - however amorphous as a category of<br/>political and social analysis – is emerging as the dominant force in the<br/>late twentieth century. This has been highlighted by the evolution of the<br/>Rhodesian problem since the mid-1960s, and the dramatic developments<br/>of September 1976 form the climax of the book.<br/>Hugh Tinker is Professor of Politics in the University of Lancaster.<br/>He was formerly Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Common-<br/>wealth Studies, University of London, Professor of Government and<br/>Politics in the University of London, and Director of the Institute of<br/>Race Relations. His most recent books are A New System of Slavery<br/>(1974), Separate and Unequal (1976) and The Banyan Tree: Overseas<br/>Emigrants from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (1977).
