In the 1950s, when many Caribbean migrants came to Britain, there was no such recognised entity as "Black Britain." Yet by the 1980s, the cultural landscape had radically changed, and a remarkable array of creative practices such as theatre, poetry, literature, music and the visual arts gave voice to striking new articulations of Black-British identity. This new book chronicles the extraordinary blend of social, political and cultural influences from the mid-1950s to late 1970s that gave rise to new heights of Black-British artistic expression in the 1980s. Eddie Chambers relates how and why during these decades "West Indians" became "Afro-Caribbeans," and how in turn "Afro-Caribbeans" became "Black-British" - and the centrality of the arts to this important narrative. The British Empire, migration, Rastafari, the Anti-Apartheid struggle, reggae music, dub poetry, the ascendance of the West Indies cricket team and the coming of Margaret Thatcher - all of these factors, and others, have had a part to play in the compelling story of how the African Diaspora transformed itself to give rise to Black Britain."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInternational library of cultural studies. 606 $aBlacks$zGreat Britain 606 $2Black & Asian studies 607 $aGreat Britain$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aBlacks 676 $a305.896041 700 $aChambers$b Eddie$0881538 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162794403321 996 $aRoots and culture$92586808 997 $aUNINA
