Abstract
UNESCO inaugurated 1968, the year of international human rights, by devoting its January edition of the Unesco Courier to the topics of human rights and racism. John Rex, the British sociologist who participated in the 1967 panel on “race,” offered his assessment of racism in a brief but trenchant essay. Rex’s essay began, “[D]espite the defeat of the Nazis and their allies and the setting up of the United Nations Organization in 1945, racism continues to haunt the world today.” Focusing his analysis, Rex offered an indictment of discriminatory practices in employment, housing, education, and immigration. In “rich countries,” wrote Rex, “even in the cities of the affluent Western world the Negro ghettoes burn, signaling to the world the blank despair of their inhabitants.”1
