This paper explores Virdee’s account of how racialized minorities in socialist movements ‘played an instrumental role in trying to align struggles against racism with those against class exploitation’ (p. 164). In so doing, Virdee makes an important intervention at a time when popular historians and other ideologues are colluding in the elevation of myths and – no doubt in their view – noble lies that preclude these stories. Moving through theoretical debates concerning the relationships between race and class, the nature and form of sociologies of ‘outsiders’, to political issues of mobilization, Virdee’s book successfully brings in from the margins an account the multi-ethnic character of the working class in England from the very moment of its inception.

This publication contains most of the proceedings of a seminar on "Theoretical Models for Fixed Scheduled and Demand Actuated Bus Routing in Urban Areas" held in May 1973. The eleven technical papers presented may be divided into three broad categories, three papers dealing with general transportation planning, three papers which are essentially surveys of various sections of the literature on public transportation and, five papers on the optimization and evaluation of bus systems. Two papers by are based on research activities of the TRANSLOK group. These deal with general transportation and location planning. Another paper contributed by Hansen is a critical comparison of behavioral and nonbehavioral transportation models. The relevance of these three papers to the study of bus systems is at best tenuous. One paper gives a concise description of the research carried out in Great Britain on bus systems. Another papers presents a discussion with examples on the tradeoffs between the power and limitations of mathematical models of public transit.
