  • Through the Wire: Black British People and the Riot
    Nka THROUGH THE WIRE Black British People and the Riot o one knows why riots occur. Or, perhaps Eddie Chambers more accurately, no one knows when the N precise confluence of factors will occur to spark a riot. After all, almost as a matter of rou- tine, Black people have endured regular, almost mundane, violence and discrimination, both at the hands of society and the police. And yet riots involving Black people protesting against such violence are sporadic, rather than regular, events. Here I explore some of the ways in which press photographs have visualized key episodes of rioting involving Black people in the English cities of Lon- don and Birmingham. These range from the Not- ting Hill riots of 1958 through the riots that took place in Birmingham, Brixton, and Tottenham in 1985. Th s text considers four wire photographs from the Baltimore Sun’s historical photo archive. Wire photos differed from traditional photographic prints insofar as the wire print resulted from breakthrough technology that allowed a photographic image to be scanned, transmitted over “the wire” (telegraph, phone, satellite networks), and printed at the receiv- ing location.

  • Subject Guide Is on Black British Dance After World War II
    Subject Guide Black British Dance EPHEMERA/47 NUBIAN/1 SOE/1/9 Introduction Founded in 1981, Black Cultural Archives’ mission is to collect, preserve and celebrate the heritage and history of Black people in Britain. Our unparalleled and growing archive collection offers insight into the history of people of African and Caribbean descent in Britain and includes personal papers, organisational records, rare books, ephemera, photographs, and a small object collection. The bulk of the material is drawn from the twentieth century to the present day, whilst some material dates as far back as the second century. This is an introductory subject guide to Black British dance in Britain and includes a list of selected sources held by the Black Cultural Archives which relate directly to Black British dance. Though the introduction looks at the historical roots of Black dance in Britain, the focus of this subject guide is on Black British dance after World War II. Background Black dance in Britain1 draws upon the embodied histories and dance traditions of the peoples of the African diaspora whilst also responding to the cultural landscape of the UK. There have been many debates as to how best to title such dancing.2 It can be argued that there is a Black dance aesthetic or qualities specific to the dancing of peoples of the African diaspora3 serving as a thread that weaves throughout dance histories, from traditions established in Africa, to the enslavement period, to dancing in the Caribbean, America, the UK and everywhere that the influences of African diasporic traditions are significant.

  • Ethnicity, Race and Inequality in the UK
    “This is simply a must-read book for all those who want to understand the UK in and Inequality Race Ethnicity, racial inequalities in British society. It provides an up-to-date and convincing case that we have a long way to go in terms of achieving racial justice.” John Solomos, University of Warwick Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Fifty years after the establishment of the Runnymede Trust and the Race Relations Act of 1968, which sought to end discrimination in public life, this accessible book provides commentary by some of the UK’s foremost scholars of race and ethnicity on data relating to a wide range of sectors of society, including employment, health, education, criminal justice, housing and representation in the arts and media. It explores what progress has been made, identifies those areas where inequalities remain stubbornly resistant to change and asks how our thinking around race and ethnicity has changed in an era of Islamophobia, Brexit and an increasingly diverse population.

New York SPECIAL FEATURE INTRODUCTION OLAUDAH EQUIANO African or American? Brycchan Carey C//he In~resting Narrative ofthe Life ofOlattdah Eqttiano, or Gttstavtts J _~~ssa, the Afiican, published in 1789, is one of a very few texts written in English by a person of African birth (or descent) during the eighteenth century. It is also one of the first accounts of a journey up from slaverywritten by one who had personally experienced enslavement. This, as has been frequently observed, makes it one of the earliest slavenarratives: indeed, it is often cited as the original text of the genre. But The Interesting Narrative is not only an account of what it was like to be enslaved. It is also by turns a voyage narrative, a conversion narrative, an economic treatise, and an abolitionist tract. More famously, in passages that are now routinely quoted in dozens of anthologies and textbooks on both sides of the modern Atlantic Ocean, the book contains a long, detailed, and celebrated account of life in an African village-among the earliest such descriptions in the English lan- guage-as well as an equally celebrated first-person account of the Middle Passage: the journey from Africa to America in a slave ship.

While DJ Derek’s ethnically stylized performance could be construed as embodied minstrelsy, other aspects of his musical capital were equally significant in the localized context and were drawn into a wider dialogue of sustainability and collective belonging defined by Caribbean migrants. I argue that ambiguous cultural figures such as Derek have an organic, productive role within local music cultures, positioned at intergenerational moments in the process of identification and belonging for ethnically diverse audiences/producers and in this case where the cultural geography of music tastes are becoming embedded within a complex set of relations among local, national and transnational cultures.

  • Tobacco and Ethnic Minorities
    Tobacco and Ethnic Minorities August 2019 INTRODUCTION Tobacco causes health problems across all ethnicities, but the way people from different ethnic backgrounds use tobacco varies considerably. Some ethnic minorities are substantially more likely to use smokeless tobacco (in particular, South Asian Britons) and shisha pipes (in particular, Middle Eastern and South Asian Britons). However, smoking remains the most common form of tobacco use in all communities. The most recent smoking rate for the UK is 14.7%, and smoking causes 95,600 deaths each year.1 This fact sheet includes the latest data and evidence on tobacco use by ethnic minorities in England, Wales, Great Britain and the UK (differences due to the population covered by each data source). It includes: • Smoking prevalence by ethnicity and nationality • Smokeless tobacco • Shisha • The health impacts of tobacco use among ethnic minorities POPULATION PROFILE Ethnic minorities in England and Wales represent approximately 14% of the total population:2 • Asian/Asian British people are the largest minority ethnic group in England and Wales, accounting for 7.5% of the total population • Black/African/Caribbean/Black British people account for 3.3% of the total population • People of mixed/multiple ethnicities make up 2.2% of the total population • And people of ‘other’ ethnicities make up 1% of the total population. Since 2001, there has also been a shift in the ethnic background of white people living in England and Wales. The proportion of the population classified as White British decreased from 88% in 2001 to 81% in 2011, while the ‘Other White’ group saw an increase in their share of the population, from 2.6% to 4.4%.3 Immigration also has an impact on the use of tobacco in the UK.

Abstract: This article discusses a range of African Atlantic figures whose vagrant and vagabond lifestyles help to broaden Paul Gilroy’s conception of the Black Atlantic. Geographically, the author moves away from metropolitan concerns to discuss the rural and the provincial as key areas to discover hidden truths about African Atlantic peoples. The article investigates North British historical concerns from slavery and its aftermath in Scotland to the Cotton Famine in Lancashire.
