Newham: the forging of a black community

By CARF

Situates the growth of Newham's working-class black community in the context of industrial development and decline around London's docks.

As the white labour movement lost its strength and political focus, Newham developed into a hot-bed of racism and organised fascism. Black people - Asian and African-Caribbean - tell of the struggles they forged over discrimination in housing, at work, in education; tell how fighting crude racial violence brought them together in a community of resistance. Based on original research and interviews with local people.

A5, 72pp. Illus., ISBN 0 951 7625 08 1991, CARF/NMP
