This paper discusses the development of anti‐racist consciousness amongst educationalists in a predominantly white location in Britain (Tyneside). The notion that the emergence of anti‐racism in ‘white’ areas can be adequately conceptualized in terms of anti‐racism's move from ‘multiracial’ locations is rejected. It is argued that the development of anti‐racist attitudes amongst Tyneside educationalists needs to be examined in terms of their experiences of working and living in the area. Through the use of a series of interviews it is shown how this group has reformulated anti‐racism in the light of local social conditions.
