商品簡介
Chessum (this volume develops from her doctoral dissertation at Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) has compiled a compelling study of racism and sexism against African Caribbean migrants in the city of Leicester, England between 1945-1981 based on extensive gathering of oral history and in-depth research on local political history. Education, access to housing, the press and public opinion, the codification of racism into laws, the continued discrimination against people of African Caribbean descent in favor of later non-black immigrants, and the development of anti-racist as well as far-right groups are laid out with extensive documentation.
