Inside the Black Box of ‘White Backlash’ researches the contents of the letters of support sent to British politician Enoch Powell in the wake of his so-called ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of April 20 1968. Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time.

Each chapter unpacks one facet of a 10 000-letter sample out of the approximately 100 000 letters Powell received: Race State War Empire America Class Gender Elites Parties ‘Against’ - with this last chapter analysing letters of protest against Powell. This extraordinary archival material provides an altogether unique window into British society in the late 1960s and reads like a (white) anthropology of nativist Britons in times of swift change.

Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

This book examines the political alliances that are built across the diaspora in contemporary plays written by Black women playwrights in the UK. Through the concept of creative diasporic solidarity it offers an innovative theoretical approach to examine the ways in which the playwrights respond creatively to the violence and marginalisation of Black communities especially Black women. This study demonstrates that theatre can act as a productive space for the ethical encounter with the Other (understood in terms of alterity as someone different from the self) by examining the possibilities of these plays to activate the spectators’ responsibility and solidarity towards different types of violence experienced by Black women offering alternative modes of relationality. The book engages with a range of contemporary works written by Black women playwrights in the UK including Mojisola Adebayo Theresa Ikoko Diana Nneka Atuona Gloria Williams Charlene James or Yusra Warsama bringing to the fore a gendered and intersectional approach to the analysis of the texts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in contemporary theatre gender studies and diaspora studies. | Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

Black Reconstruction in America Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America 1860-1880

Black Reconstruction in America Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America 1860-1880

After four centuries of bondage the nineteenth century marked the long-awaited release of millions of black slaves. Subsequently these former slaves attempted to reconstruct the basis of American democracy. W. E. B. Du Bois one of the greatest intellectual leaders in United States history evaluates the twenty years of fateful history that followed the Civil War with special reference to the efforts and experiences of African Americans. Du Bois's words best indicate the broader parameters of his work: the attitude of any person toward this book will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being who under given environment develops like other human beings then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. The plight of the white working class throughout the world is directly traceable to American slavery on which modern commerce and industry was founded Du Bois argues. Moreover the resulting color caste was adopted forwarded and approved by white labor and resulted in the subordination of colored labor throughout the world. As a result the majority of the world's laborers became part of a system of industry that destroyed democracy and led to World War I and the Great Depression. This book tells that story. | Black Reconstruction in America Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America 1860-1880
