Informe anual 2003: Sobre racismo en el Estado español. SOS Racismo, 2003, Icaria, pp.327. The annual report on racism that is published by SOS Racismo collects a wealth of information about racist incidents on Spanish territory, and features articles on its different forms. It is divided into sections on the regression of human rights as a result the worldwide obsession for security; the practical impossibility for migrants to enter Spain legally; the contravention of human rights norms and of the provisions in the Spanish immigration law; exploitation at work; attacks and intimidation; the consolidation of racism in discourse and social structure; the far-right and neo-nazis; and the racism ("by omission") suffered by the Rom collective. Available from: SOS Racism Central Office, Bou de Sant Pere 3, 08003 Barcelona, Spain.

Etnicidad y exclusión. Mugak no 25, 4th quarter 2003, pp. 59, 5 Euros. This issue focuses on issues of ethnicity and exclusion, and includes articles on the misrepresentation of ethnicity in political and journalistic discourse, on the construction of a citizenship model which results in the exclusion of different groups within a national territory, on the understanding of "integration" as the "civilising" process that corrects the "deficiencies" of migrants, and on the policy shift in France which has seen a move away from the recognition of the social roots of criminality to intensified policing and the adoption of a zero tolerance approach to offenders, particularly in underprivileged areas. Available from: Mugak, Centro de estudios sobre racismo y xenofobia, Peña y Goñi, 13 1_ - 20002 San Sebastián.
