This powerful and original book locates the anti-police violence
that spread across England in 1980-1 within a longer struggle
against racism and disadvantage faced by black Britons, which had
seen a growth in more militant forms of resistance since the Second
World War. It explains these disturbances as 'collective bargaining
by riot' - attempts to increase political inclusion by this
marginalised group. Through case studies of Bristol, Brixton and
Manchester, the book explores the actions of community
organisations in the aftermath of disorders. Highlighting the
political activities of black Britons and the often-problematic
reliance upon 'official' sources when forming historical
narratives, it demonstrates the contested value awarded to public
inquiries - contrastingly viewed by black Britons as either a
method for increased political participation or simply a
governmental diversionary tactic. -- .
