For a decade and a half, since she first appeared in the Birmingham
Centre's collective volume The Empire Strikes Back, Hazel Carby has
been on the frontline of the debate over multicultural education in
Britain and the US. This book brings together her most important
and influential essays, ranging over such topics as the necessity
for racially diverse school curricula, the construction of literary
canons, Zora Neale Hurston's portraits of "the Folk," C.L.R. James
and Trinidadian nationalism and black women blues artists, and the
necessity for racially diverse school curricula. Carby's analyses
of diverse aspects of contemporary culture are invariably sharp and
provocative, her political insights shrewd and often against the
grain. A powerful intervention, Culture in Babylon will become a
standard reference point in future debates over race, ethnicity and
gender.
