The first book in the Cultural Margins series is a 1994 study of
racism and homophobia in British politics, which demonstrates the
demonisation of blacks, lesbians, and gays in New Right discourse.
Anna Marie Smith develops theoretical insights from literary and
cultural critics, including Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, Hall, and
Gilroy, to produce detailed readings of two key moments in New
Right discourse: the speeches of Enoch Powell on black immigration
(1968-72) and the legislative campaign of the late 1980s to
prohibit the promotion of homosexuality. Her analysis challenges
the silence on racism and homophobia in previous studies of
Thatcherism and the New Right, and shows how demonisation of
lesbians and gays depends on previous demonisations of black
immigrant and criminal figures. Overall, this book offers a
devastating critique of racism and homophobia in late
twentieth-century Britain.
