Simon Peplow

Race and riots in Thatcher's Britain

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through exploration of black British community activism in three geographical case studies, this book argues that the 1980-1 anti-police disturbances should be viewed as â collective bargaining by riotâ . Utilising many original sources, it charts dichotomous attitudes towards public inquiries and discussions of increased political participation. -- .
