本文描述和分析了2001年夏天发生在英国北部城镇的骚乱的更广泛的机制、过程和背景。它考察了这些事件和想象中的恐惧，这些恐惧帮助强化了激烈反对的团体之间的边界。有人指出，奥尔德姆、布拉德福德和伯恩利地区各种形式的种族歧视和种族主义暴力长期根深蒂固，这与纺织业的长期经济衰退有关。有人认为，本地化的去工业化产生了一种怀旧和文化衰落的社区话语，这是通过种族和民族的双引擎表达出来的。因此，地理上集中的恐惧、风险和不安全加剧了种族主义暴力和骚乱的可能性和强度。
This paper describes and analyses the wider mechanisms, processes and contexts of the riots that took place in Northern UK cities and towns in the Summer of 2001. It examines these events and the imagined fears that aided the hardening of boundaries between violently opposed groups. It is noted that a long-term entrenchment of various forms of racial discrimination and racist violence in Oldham, Bradford and Burnley areas was connected to the long-term economic decline of the textile industry. Localised deindustrialisation, it is argued, generated a community discourse of nostalgia and cultural decline that was articulated via twin motors of race and ethnicity. As a result geographical concentrations of fear, risk and insecurity aided the likelihood and intensity of racist violence and disorder.
