rainbow coalition
In politics, from the mid-1980s, a loose, left-of-centre alliance of people from several different sections of society that are traditionally politically underrepresented, such as nonwhite ethnic groups. Its aims include promoting minority rights and equal opportunities.
| ‘Rainbow’ is a translation of French Arc-en-Ciel, a name brought into prominence by the Rev Jesse Jackson's campaign seeking to represent an alliance of nonwhite political groupings. |
