🎞️Following the launch of #Defiance, a new series on channel 4 documenting the British South-Asian anti-racist movement, we wanted to share some of our resources on the struggle. 📚Southall: The birth of a Black community irr.org.uk/product/southa…
These are seminal films made 40 years ago by Colin Prescod for @Channel4. Do please check them out, along with the rest of the resources in this thread. There's a great many British films made by Black & Asian filmmakers over the last 50+ years that demand to be revisited today.
Struggles for Black Community by former chair Colin Prescod - 4 films, made for Channel 4 at the beginning of the 1980s A town under siege focuses on how Southall organised to resist racist & fascist attacks between 1976 and 1981. irr.org.uk/product/strugg…
The Institute of Race Relations was an essential source of information for both my BA and MA dissertations, the latter on the notion of 'organic intellectuals' and the production of knowledge on 'race'.
Check out all our resources here: irr.org.uk/resources/for-…
Also featured in Colin Prescod's Channel 4 @IRR_News films from the early 1980s! "Southall: the birth of a black community How a whole community took to the streets to protest at the invasion of its town by the fascists." irr.org.uk/resources/for-…
“The Asian community up and down the country was under siege. It was about time we did something for ourselves. In the face of racist violence and injustice we fought back.” This is OUR story. Please watch #Defiance Fighting the Far Right 9pm on Channel 4
For a deep dive into the history of the different #antiracist struggles, resistance & #Defiance on factory floors, streets & in communities and how ‘politically black’ working- class struggles are part of British working-class history 👇🏼
