This dissertation project examines the relationship between the rights of citizenship and the politics of race in Britain between 1948 and 1968. It will address three questions. First, how were the unstable boundaries between state and society demarcated along the lines of race after1945, when advocates of minority concerns increasingly defined civil rights in terms of the state's responsibility to prevent discrimination in the private sector? Second, how did members of both anti-racist organizations and the legal profession assess the efficacy of working within liberal and egalitarian framework to advance minority concerns? Third, what criteria were employed to legally define classes of people deserving state protection against discrimination, particularly in the drafting and enactment of the Race Relations Acts of 1965 and 1968? To answer these questions, the Co-Principal Investigator will engage in archival research to examine the specific processes and debates through which egalitarian arguments and the codification of citizenship became linked most explicitly with the politics of race.

该论文项目研究了1948年至1968年之间的公民权利与英国种族政治之间的关系。它将解决三个问题。首先，1945年之后，国家与社会之间的不稳定界限是如何沿种族界定的，当时少数群体关心的倡导者越来越明确地定义了国家有责任防止私营部门歧视的责任？其次，反种族主义组织和法律界的成员如何评估自由主义和平等主义框架内工作以促进少数群体关注的功效？ 第三，采用了哪些标准来合法地定义应有国家保护反对歧视的人，特别是在1965年和1968年《种族关系法》的起草和制定中？ 为了回答这些问题，联合主要调查员将参与档案研究，以研究平等论点和公民身份的编纂与种族政治最明确地联系在一起的特定过程和辩论。
