Thinking Black - Rob Waters

It was a common charge among black radicals in the 1960s that Britons needed to start &ldquo;thinking black.&rdquo; As state and society consolidated around a revived politics of whiteness, &ldquo;thinking black,&rdquo; they felt, was necessary for all who sought to build a liberated future out of Britain&rsquo;s imperial past.<P>In&#160;<I>Thinking Black</I>, Rob Waters reveals black radical Britain&rsquo;s wide cultural-political formation, tracing it across new institutions of black civil society and connecting it to decolonization and black liberation across the Atlantic world. He shows how, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, black radicalism defined what it meant to be black and what it meant to be radical in Britain.</P>
