Forging a Black Community: Asian and Afro-Caribbean Struggles in Newham

Title
Forging a Black Community: Asian and Afro-Caribbean Struggles in Newham
Description
By the late 1960s ‘Black’ became a political term referring to people who recognised their common racial oppression and class exploitation. In this book about Newham, Asians and African-Caribbeans complained of gentrification and shared stories about their struggles against discrimination in housing, at work and in education. They explain that fighting against racial violence brought them together in a community of Black resistance and solidarity. This book highlights Black agency and is a first in the writing of Black local history.
