| Synopsis: | "Black British Culture and Society" brings together writings on the black community in Britain, from the 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. The reader focuses on 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 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 filmmaking. 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. The volume features interviews with noted black artists and writers such as Aubrey Williams, Mustapha Matura and Caryl Phillips, and includes articles from key contemporary thinkers such as Stuart Hall, A. Sivanandan, Paul Gilroy and Henry Louis Gates. | |
