How did a distinct & powerful Black British identity emerge? 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 & a remarkable array of creative practices such as theatre poetry literature music & the visual arts gave voice to striking new articulations of Black-British identity This new book chronicles the extraordinary blend of social political & 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 & why during these decades " West Indians" became " Afro-Caribbeans" & how in turn " Afro-Caribbeans" became " Black-British"
- & 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 & the coming of Margaret Thatcher
