Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Striking Back Against Racist Violence in the East End of London, 1968–1970 Stephen Ashe, Satnam Virdee and Laurence Brown
    RAC0010.1177/0306396816642997Race & ClassAshe et al. 642997research-article2016 SAGE Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC, Melbourne Striking back against racist violence in the East End of London, 1968–1970 STEPHEN ASHE, SATNAM VIRDEE and LAURENCE BROWN Abstract: This article tells the hitherto untold story of how different Pakistani organisations mobilised in response to racist violence and harassment in the east London Borough of Tower Hamlets (1968–1970). In telling this story, the authors analyse the problematic nature of official and public understandings of, and responses to, racist violence, and how it distorted the lives of racialised minorities. Drawing on original archival research carried out in 2014, this piece identifies the emergence of two distinct political repertoires from within the Pakistani community: the integrationist approach and the autonomous approach. The integrationist approach involving the Pakistani Welfare Association (PWA) and the National Federation of Pakistani Associations (NFPA) tried to address the problem through existing local state ‘race relations’ apparatuses and mainstream political channels, while at the same time re-establishing consent for the police as the agents of law and order. In contrast, a network of Black Power groups, anti- imperialists and socialists led by the Pakistani Progressive Party (PPP) and the Pakistani Workers’ Union (PWU) challenged both the local political leadership and the authority of the police in Tower Hamlets, while also undermining the stereotype of Asian people as ‘weak’ and ‘passive’. In recovering this lost Stephen Ashe is Research Associate at the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE), University of Manchester. Satnam Virdee is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and Deputy Director of CoDE.

  • Media Coverage of the Punk Music in the United Kingdom in the Late 1970S
    1.3. “God Save the Queen”. Media coverage of the punk music in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. Martin Husak 1 Abstract The article analyses the press coverage of Sex Pistols from May to December 1977after the release of their single ‘God save the Queen’ using the comparison of broadsheets and tabloids as represented by The Times and The Daily Mail articles. The examination of newspaper approach to Sex Pistols helps to reveal ‘meaning making’ figures as were intentionally used by journalists in order to shape ideological and aesthetical framework of punk music within the capitalist marketplace. Keywords: Sex Pistols, God Save the Queen, punk, media coverage, hegemony. Introduction The purpose of this article is, in large part, to explore the media’s approach to alternative music culture in capitalist society, focussing on the example of the media‘s portrayal of the Sex Pistols after the May 1977 release of their single ‘God save the Queen’ through content analysis of British newspapers. As far as the field of culture is always a site of ideological struggle, (Hull in Samuel, 1981) then the media is a terrain that reflects and then reinforces its echoes. Media helps to maintain social reproduction of dominant ideology as an arbiter of both ideological and cultural significance (Frith, 1983). Sex Pistols are a case in point, showing the transferability of alternative music into commercialized and mainstream genres, and thus are a suitable example to clarify the role of media representation in Western capitalist democracy in this process. The politics of punk In terms of music, punk came along as an energetic and aggressive reaction against the middle-class meanderings of progressive rock.
