British Communism and the Politics of Race explores the role that
the Communist Party of Great Britain played within the anti-racism
movement in Britain from the 1940s to the 1980s. As one of the
first organisations to undertake serious anti-colonial and
anti-racist activism within the British labour movement, the CPGB
was a pioneering force that campaigned against racial
discrimination, popular imperialism and fascist violence in British
society. The book examines the balancing act that the Communist
Party negotiated in its anti-racist work, between making appeals to
the labour movement to get involved in the fight against racism and
working with Britain's ethnic minority communities, who often felt
let down by the trade unions and the Labour Party. Transitioning
from a class-based outlook to an embrace of the new social
movements of the 1960s-70s, the CPGB played an important role in
the anti-racist struggle, but by the 1980s, it was eclipsed by more
radical and diverse activist organisations.
