Black British Culture and Society brings together in one
indispensable volume key writings on the Black community in
Britain, from the 'Windrush' immigrations of the late 1940s and
1950s to contemporary multicultural Britain. Combining classic
writings on Black British life with new, specially commissioned
articles, Black British Culture and Society records the history of
the post-war African and Caribbean diaspora, tracing the
transformations of Black culture in British society.
Black British Culture and Society explores key facets of the Black
experience, charting Black Britons' struggles to carve out their
own identity and place in an often hostile society. The articles
reflect the rich diversity of the Black British experience,
addressing economic and social issues such as health, religion,
education, feminism, old age, community and race relations, as well
as Black culture and the arts, with discussions of performance,
carnival, sport, style, literature, theatre, art and film-making.
The contributors examine the often tense relationship between
successful Black public figures and the media, and address the role
of the Black intellectual in public life. Featuring interviews with
noted Black artists and writers such as Aubrey Williams, Mustapha
Matura and Caryl Phillips, and including articles from key
contemporary thinkers, such as Stuart Hall, A. Sivanandan, Paul
Gilroy and Henry Louis Gates, Black British Culture and Society
provides a rich resource of analysis, critique and comment on the
Black community's distinctive contribution to cultural life in
Britain today.
