Institutional Racism 1st Edition

Bold, urgent, and uncompromising, Institutional Racism — 1st Edition by Shamila Ahmed confronts the structures that shape unequal outcomes in education, health, employment and justice. This vital work cuts through jargon to reveal how policies, practices and everyday routines reproduce racial disadvantage across the UK, the United States and beyond, offering readers a clear framework to understand systemic racism in local and global contexts.

Drawing on rigorous research and real-world examples, Ahmed guides readers from diagnosis to action: how institutions normalize bias, the historical roots that sustain it, and practical pathways for accountability and reform. Engaging case studies and accessible analysis make this book a powerful resource for students, scholars, public servants, human-rights advocates and community leaders who want to move from awareness to impact.

What you’ll gain: sharper analytical tools for spotting institutional bias; evidence-based strategies for policy change; and a deeper appreciation of how race intersects with class, gender and migration. Clear, readable and timely, this edition is particularly relevant for those working in social policy, criminal justice, public health and education across Europe, North America and South Asia.
