    **Embargoed until 00.01 Wednesday September 24, 2008** MOBO AWARDS LINE UP SUPERSTARS ESTELLE AND JOHN LEGEND CONFIRM MOBO PERFORMANCES SUGABABES TEAM UP WITH TAIO CRUZ FOR UNIQUE COLLABORATION Stars from the US and UK will line-up up to play the prestigious MOBO Awards at Wembley Arena on Wednesday October 15 th . British superstar Estelle is determined to steal the show and looks set to shine on the night after receiving 5 nominations for this year’s Awards. The Londoner has achieved huge acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic with her album Shine this year. She will take her place in a line up that also includes her American mentor, label manager and fellow megastar John Legend , who was introduced to Estelle by mutual friend Kanye West. Legend signed the British singer to his Hometown Records label and launched her into the musical stratosphere. For Legend, it is doubly satisfying for Estelle to be the hot favourite on the night, “I am so excited to be able to perform at MOBO and showcase some songs from my new album,” says Legend, “I am so happy that Estelle is nominated 5 times too! She is a huge talent and it has been great to be part of her story.” Legend’s own eagerly awaited new album, Evolver , is released in October and features Estelle, Kanye West and Andre 3000. Bridging the Atlantic is Londoner Taio Cruz , a player in the US music scene where he has written for Usher, Mya and Britney Spears and had his own career mentored by Dallas Austin.

  • The Politics of Loving Blackness in the UK By
    The Politics of Loving Blackness in the UK By Lisa Amanda Palmer A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of American and Canadian Studies The University of Birmingham March 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Abstract Can ‘loving blackness’ become a new discourse for anti-racism in the UK and the broader black diaspora? This thesis will critically assess the concept of ‘loving blackness as political resistance’ as outlined by the African American feminist bell hooks (1992). The thesis will show the ways in which blackness has been both negated and denigrated in western cultures and thus constructed in opposition to notions of love and humanness. Conversely, love and blackness are also rehabilitated in different ways by Black diasporic populations in Britain through the transnational space. The transnational space can provide opportunities for constructing, networks of care, love and anti racist strategies that affirm the value of blackness and Black life. However, the transnational space can also be fraught with risks, dangers and exclusions providing Black and migrant populations with uneven forms of citizenship and belonging to western neo-liberal states.

    Graduate School of Social Sciences MSc Conflict Resolution and Governance Subcultures, State and Society: A Challenge to the London Grime Scene’s Socio-economic and Socio-political Circumstances A Study of Cultural Practices as Sites of Politics Author: Christy Coulson June 2017 Amsterdam Student ID: 11256923 Supervisor: dr. P.E. Polly Pallister-Wilkins Second Reader: dhr. dr. David Laws Word Count: 23889 1 2 Glossary The Met – Metropolitan Police COLP – City of London Police Scene – London-based community of actors that actively consumes and produces social and behavioural norms associated with grime music and the demographic of people that use grime music as a part of their identity in London. Grime’s socio-economic circumstances – Poverty, violence, drugs, segregation. Grime’s socio-political circumstances – Segregation, racial and aesthetic profiling, societal disregard, the harsh policing of the scene’s events. CCCS – Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies Locked off – Shut down Acknowledgements This research and thesis would not have been possible without the educated, informative and passionate voices of those within the London grime scene. Their understandings of their own circumstances reinforced the importance of this research for me, as a researcher, and London society. I was genuinely shocked in my interactions with these people about the sophisticated manner in which these people articulated themselves and interacted with me, an outsider. It is with this knowledge that I commend my interviewees for their willingness to speak and their vast knowledge. Finally, I’d like to thank dr. Polly Pallister-Wilkins for her willingness and ability to challenge my thinking, engaging with me in both the complex and seemingly trivial issues of this research project.
