The Politics of Britain's Asian Youth Movements, Anandi Ramamurthy. Race & Class Vol. 48 no 2, 2006, pp 38-60. This valuable article examines the Asian Youth Movements (AYM) of the 1970s and 1980s. Ramamurthy contextualises the AYMs in the political history of Asians in Britain and examines the influence of black politics and secularism that united different religious communities. Indeed, the author concludes that the importance of the AYMs "lies in their example of organising politically at a grass roots level across religious divides."

Enlightened fundamentalism? Immigration, feminism and the Right, Liz Fekete. Race & Class Vol. 48 no 2, 2006, pp 1-22. This article examines how the views and policies of Islamaphobic and extreme right political parties have been absorbed into the process of governmental policy and decision making directed against the 'war on terror'. "National security agendas overlap with the immigration control programmes of the far Right and integration measures imposed by governments reinforce Islamaphobia. 'Multiculturalism' is seen as a threat to European values and even some feminists are being recruited to an anti-immigrant politics via aggressively promoted stereotypes of Islam."
