Rights Catalogue Spring 2016 Jacaranda Books Art Music Ltd Is a Fresh and Exciting New Independent Publishing House Based in London Rights catalogue Spring 2016 Jacaranda Books Art Music Ltd is a fresh and exciting new independent publishing house based in London. We publish adult fiction and non- fiction, including illustrated books, across linguistic, racial, gender and cultural boundaries – books in many ways as cosmopolitan as our city. Through our publishing, we directly address the ongoing lack of diversity in the industry today, and seek to enrich the landscape from boardroom to bookshelf. We aim to bring authors and books that represent the cultural, heritage and ethnic variety that can be found in London, with a particular interest in works related to Africa, the Caribbean, and African America. At the heart of our publishing strategy is one core element: a love of outstanding, thought-provoking work. We believe that a wealth of unheard, under-represented voices exist globally and are ready to be discovered. It is our mission to create the space for those voices to be seen and heard by new readers.

This article uses Critical Race Theory as a useful framework for unpacking defences that hinged both on the colour-blindness of white British audiences, and the simultaneous existence of wider customs of blacking up within British television and film. I examine a range of 'screen culture' from the 1920s to the 1970s, including feature films, home movies, newsreels, and television, that provide evidence of the existence of blackface as a type of racialised custom in British entertainment throughout this period. Efforts by organisations such as CARD, black-press publications like Flamingo, and audiences of colour, to name blacking up and minstrelsy as racist in the late 1960s were met by fierce resistance from majority white audiences and producers, who denied their authority to do so.

  • Aunt Esther's Story
    Since 1618 HAMMERSMITH UNITED CHARITIES Aunt Esther’s Story with Stephen Bourne Ethnic Communities Oral History Project Supporting the community since 1618 Aunt Esther’s Story Compiled by Stephen Bourne & Sav Kyriacou © Ethnic Communities Oral History Project 1991 1 INTRODUCTION by Stephen Bourne Black women have been living and working in Britain since at least the early 16th century. The court of King James IV of Scotland included two African maidservants to the Queen. From the seventeenth century black women found employment as domestic servants, seamstresses, laundry maids, children’s nurses, cooks and street and fairground performers. However, many were forced to become prostitutes. It is a little known fact that four hundred years ago, in 1595, a tall, statuesque African called Luce Morgan, also known as Lucy Negro, ran a brothel in Clerkenwell. A beautiful and famous courtesan, some historians believe that Shakespeare fell in love with her, and they have identified her as his Dark Lady of the Sonnets. Luce Morgan may have inspired Shakespeare, but in those days women had very little access to education, and left no written records. Poet Phillis Wheatley became the first black woman to have her writing published in Britain. Bought in a slave-market in 1761 when she was just seven- years-old, Wheatley grew up in America and came to London in 1773. Under the patronage of the Countess of Huntingdon, Wheatley’s poems were published here to great acclaim, and subsequently she was befriended and entertained by members of the English aristocracy. She died in 1784. Another slave, Mary Prince, was born in Bermuda in 1788 but, unlike Wheatley, she suffered barbaric treatment from her owners.

  • June 2017 Janua Welcome to a New Year of New Books!
    NEW TITLES JANUARY - JUNE 2017 WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR OF NEW BOOKS! As we move through the remnants of 2016, a look back on the past year might inspire the well-worn adage, “you couldn’t make this stuff up”. The world looks forward to the next few years with anxious hearts and minds. While in 2016 truth may be stranger than fiction, at Jacaranda we enter 2017 with a stellar list of uniquely brilliant and illuminating tales. Whether debut voices, or veteran our authors take us from the darkly funny world of Nigerian satire with Anietie Isong’s RADIO SUNRISE, through the stifling exacting world of Tokyo motherhood, with Rahdika Jha’s exquisite novel, MY BEAUTIFUL SHADOW. Starkly evocative landscapes and searing observations of human cruelty and kindness make this work a stand out feature title for the spring. As we move into the summer, we slip into azure, warm Caribbean waters with two genre fiction offerings: Paula Lennon’sMURDER IN MONTEGO BAY, a crime procedural set in the heart of this famed Jamaican holiday destination and Rasheda Malcolm’s SWIMMING WITH FISHES, a very traditional romantic novel enlivened by its Caribbean setting. These offerings promise a new flavour to well-used recipes, new perspectives on old traditions, and bright new voices in the publishing arena. To say we at Jacaranda are excited about our publishing for next year would be a great understatement; we are ecstatic and sincerely hope you will be too.
