Originally published in 1986, White Bolts, Black Locks was a major contribution to the national debate about racism, racial justice and the relationships between the white and black British. It examines the participation of black people in community activities, and the effects on that participation of personal and institutional forms of racism. This thought-provoking and readable book has much to say to white and black professionals who work together, for the author describes the way in which ‘white speak’ and ‘black speak’ are used to build self-protective stockades.

David Thomas explores the idea of community capability, and how black and white neighbours try to live together and improve their livelihood. He presents stimulating material about neighbourhoods, and suggests why they must be given more recognition as a proper part of the social structure.

The book will still be of historical interest to practitioners, volunteers and local residents working in urban neighbourhoods, and to students in social work, community development, politics, sociology and social policy and administration. It is a book that should not be ignored by anyone with an interest in the significance of neighbourhood processes and development.
