Produktbeschreibung

Black Studies is a hugely important, and yet undervalued, academic field of enquiry that is marked by its disciplinary absence and omission from academic curricula in Britain. Blackness in Britain attends to and grapples with the absence of Black Studies in Britain and the parallel crisis of Black marginality in British society. Split into five parts, it examines: Black studies and the challenge of the Black British intellectual; revolution, resistance and state violence; Blackness and belonging; exclusion and inequality in education; and experiences of Black women and the gendering of Blackness in Britain.
