In 1980s Britain, while the country failed to reckon with the
legacies of its empire, a black, transnational sensibility was
emerging in its urban areas. In Handsworth, an inner-city
neighborhood of Birmingham, black residents looked across the
Atlantic toward African and Afro-Caribbean social and political
cultures and drew upon them while navigating the inequalities of
their locale. For those of the Windrush generation and their
British-born children, this diasporic inheritance became a core
influence on cultural and political life. Through rich case
studies, including photographic representations of the
neighborhood, Black Handsworth takes readers inside pubs, churches,
political organizations, domestic spaces, and social clubs to shed
light on the experiences and everyday lives of black residents
during this time. The result is a compelling and sophisticated
study of black globality in the making of post-colonial Britain.
