Abstract
The paper discusses some of the issues emanating out of reading the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report and the surrounding media reports. In particular, the paper looks at the ways the notion of ‘cutural diversity’ has been incorporated to the Report's recommendations on racism awareness training. This is linked with the fundamental problem of the inclusion of Britain's racialized minorities into its citizenship body in a way that would reflect differences and differential positionings. The paper ends with a note on a particular kind of active citizenship - that of political motherhood and the way Doreen Lawrence has been constructed in the British national imagination.
