From the Mangrove Nine to Notting Hill Carnival, writer and social
commentator Chanté Joseph takes us through the formative, radical
histories of Black British activism.
When the Windrush generation arrived in Britain, the concept of 'Black
Britishness' or 'Black British Culture' did not yet exist. Fast forward
to the present day, where a distinct and influential Black British
identity exists.
This concise and informative book traverses the crucial topics within
Black British history and culture: exploring community activism,
protests, Notting Hill Carnival, the Black British Panthers, Women of
the movement, the Mangrove Nine and the Black British Arts.
Celebrating and chronicling the fusion of social, political and artistic
elements within Black activism in Britain, A Quick Ting On: British
Black Power provides an insightful look at how the British Black Power
movement first emerged and has developed since.
