This article draws on the insights of narrative analysis to critically review recent changes to UK government equality policy through three examples: the announcement of a new equality strategy, changes to the governance of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the establishment and report of the Sewell Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities. I argue that these policy initiatives and the narratives justifying them signal moves to further weaken the UK government's formal commitments to protections against discrimination. This involves not only the familiar argument in favour of a limited, liberal model of individual equality of opportunity, but is also about bolstering normative whiteness in the face of growing calls for a reckoning with the UK's legacy of colonialism, slavery and deep-seated racial inequalities.

As the Reagan administration shifts responsibility for services to state, local, and private arenas, new problems appear for social workers. The goals of the changes are examined as well as difficulties that may emerge in terms of increased expenses and diminished services.

The recent rise of a prosperous Black middle class on the one hand & the continued salience of religious conservatism among many Black citizens on the other means that significant percentages of African Americans share both interests & values with White conservatives who vote Republican. In this study, using a decade's worth of survey data from Nashville, TN, African Americans are found to have given only about 10% of their votes to Republican candidates for president & governor. Those African Americans who did vote Republican were moved to do so by political values: they believed that individuals, not the government, should be responsible for solving social problems. Neither upper-middle-class standing nor religious conservatism, both prominent features of Southern Republicanism, moved Blacks to vote Republican. 1 Appendix, 28 References.

The recent rise of a prosperous Black middle class on the one hand and the continued salience of religious conservatism among many Black citizens on the other means that significant percentages of African Americans share both interests and values with White conservatives who vote Republican. In this study, using a decade's worth of survey data from Nashville, Tennessee, African Americans are found to have given only about ten percent of their votes to Republican candidates for president and governor. Those African Americans who did vote Republican were moved to do so by political values: they believed that individuals, not the government, should be responsible for solving social problems. Neither upper‐middle‐class standing nor religious conservatism, both prominent features of Southern Republicanism, moved Blacks to vote Republican.
