RACE PLACE AND THE SEASIDE - DANIEL BURDSEY KAR...

This is the first academic monograph to focus exclusively on issues of race  ethnicity 
whiteness and multiculture at the English seaside. The book calls for acknowledgement of the
racialised nature of this environment  and proposes that its distinctive spaces  places 
traditions and narratives should be included within broader analyses of race in contemporary
Britain. Introducing the concept of 'coastal liquidity' to explain shifting ethno-racial
demographics  migratory politics and spatial dynamics at the edge of the sea  along with the
relative im mobilities of the minority ethnic communities who move and reside there  the author
provides a relational exploration of seaside experiences: both as a locus of racialised
categorisation  exclusion and subjugation  and one of resistance  conviviality and
intercultural exchange. Combining theoretical insight and empirical fieldwork  the book
disrupts dominant thinking that fixes ontologically minority ethnic bodies to urbanspaces  and
overcomes their erasure and silencing from the seaside landscapes of the popular imagination.
