Description
The Empire Strikes Back: Race and Racism in 70s Britain By Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies This book challenges the marginalization of issues related to race and racism in cultural studies, highlighting their importance in understanding contemporary society. It offers a corrective to the narrow focus on white working-class struggles, instead shedding light on the experiences of black people in Britain during this period. The study explores the ways in which racist ideologies and racial conflicts have been ignored or downplayed in historical accounts and present-day discussions. By examining the role of blacks and black struggles in shaping the working class, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between race, class, and power. Through its analysis, The Empire Strikes Back aims to contribute to a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of British history and culture.
