Beginning in the 1930s and moving into the post millennium, this book
provides a historical analysis of the policies and practices established
by the BBC as it attempted to assist white Britons in adjusting to the
presence of African-Caribbeans. Among the themes the book explores are
current representations of race, the future of British television and
its impact on multi-ethnic audiences. The chapters include an extensive
analysis of television programming, along with personal interviews that
reveal the efforts of black Britons working for the BBC, whether as
writers, producers or actors.
