Bristol: ‘civilising’ the inner city

University of the West of England

Although Bristol's inner-city districts of St Paul's, St Jude's and Easton are currently the subject of urban regeneration, the underlying socio-economic inequalities facing the black, minority ethnic and poor white communities that live there have been ignored. The legacy of Bristol's leading role in the slave trade, the institutional racism that led to the St Paul's riot in 1980 and the domestic Islamophobia accompanying the ‘war on terror’ have resulted in distrust between local residents and the authorities that claim to be revitalising their areas.

Key Words: Easton • inner city • riot • slavery • social exclusion • St Jude's • St Paul's • urban regeneration
