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.

  • A CULTURAL HISTORY of BLACK BRITAIN in 1970S FILM and TELEVISION
    ‘BUT WHERE ON EARTH IS HOME?’ A CULTURAL HISTORY OF BLACK BRITAIN IN 1970s FILM AND TELEVISION Sally Shaw This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth [Volume 1] September 2014 DECLARATION Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word Count: 89799 words ABSTRACT This thesis adopts an interdisciplinary approach in order to explore the social and cultural history of black Britain in 1970s fictional film and television. It draws on rigorous archival research, original interview testimony with practitioners and audience members, and close textual analysis of visual sources, in order to examine relations between black film and television texts and the social, political and institutional contexts of their authorship. The key focus of my study is therefore on black creative agency. Whilst prior studies have addressed black expression and representation in film and television, few have attempted to trace the process of creativity itself. My study uniquely traces the black creative voice in an historical period of emergence and conflict, and endeavours to ‘map’ it in terms of networks of (white and black) practitioners, the spaces of industrial production and the metaphorical, geographical and diasporic spaces of community and socio-political action. The thesis is structured in two parts. In Part 2, my ‘mapping’ encompasses a broad landscape – I ‘map the field’ socio-politically and then provide a survey of the significant range of feature films and television programmes concerned with black Britain in the 1970s.
