This locale fixation brought the Black Country town into the national spotlight, yet Powell's unstable relationship with Wolverhampton has since been overlooked. Drawing from interviews and archival material, this book offers a rich local history through which to investigate the speech, bringing to life the racialised dynamics of space during a critical moment in British history. It traces the ways in which Powell's words reinvented the town, uncovering highly contested local responses. While Powell left Wolverhampton in 1974, the book returns to the area to explore the collective memories of Powell which continue to reverberate.Racism, resistance and social change.HistoryukslcInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)fast(OCoLC)fst00972484Emigration and immigrationfast(OCoLC)fst00908690Collective memoryfast(OCoLC)fst01739814HistoryeflchBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPoliticalbisacshCollective memoryEnglandWolverhamptonGreat BritainfastEnglandWolverhamptonfastGreat BritainEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryWolverhampton (England)History20th centuryHistory.British history.class.immigration.resistance.History.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Emigration and immigration.Collective memory.History.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPolitical.Collective memory909Hirsch Shirin1598376MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910825863503321In the shadow of Enoch Powell3920577UNINA
