This article focuses on the particular ways the ideology of 'the community' and 'equal opportunities' policies have been used and have affected the anti-racist struggles in Britain in general and in South East London in particular. It explores the issues of representation and access to power, individual and collective, in the 'community' of the 'race relations indus try'. The article concludes with a more general questioning concerning the roles and centrality the constructs of 'community', 'culture', 'colour' and 'identity' in general, have in anti-racist struggles.
