One Day, One Day, Congotay by Merle Hodge
Race & Class 66(3) 2 On 29 July 2024, three young girls, aged 6 to 9, were killed in a mass stabbing at a dance studio in Southport, Merseyside, UK.In the following weeks, far-right orchestrated riots broke out across the UK, fuelled by false claims that the perpetrator of the attack was a Muslim asylumseeker.3 A recent investigation found that groups linked to neo-Nazi organisations are organising meetings and offering paid-for-therapy to surviv…

Seeing off Empire
This article retrieves the life and cultural contributions to Britain of Trinidadian Pearl Prescod, singer, campaigner and the first Black female actor at the National Theatre. She is one of a generation of artists, performers, singers and intellectuals whose contribution to the creation of a Black and anti-colonial strand in British culture in the 1950s and ‘60s has been neglected. By tracking her life from her colonial origins through her migra…

Excerpts are provided here from a forthcoming book to mark the centenary of the poet Isaac Rosenberg, who died in France on the Western Front in 1918. The author, who was able to interview Rosenberg's contemporary Joseph Leftwich, explains Rosenberg's experiences of anti-Semitism, including in the army, and his roots in London's working-class, Jewish East End

Xeno-racism and the scourge of Roma school exclusion
The author, formerly a head teacher in Sheffield and adviser to the education authority, exposes the fact that around a quarter of all recently arrived Slovak Roma children are now excluded from Sheffield schools. He places this form of blatant discrimination in the context of former racist institutional responses such as the labelling of West Indian children as educationally sub-normal and their forced withdrawal from mainstream education in the…
The story of Stepney Words
In 1971 a young teacher was sacked from a London East End school after publishing a book of poetry written by its working-class pupils who acutely observed the sights and people's struggles around them. In an unprecedented move, the school children and those from neighbouring schools went on strike to demand the reinstatement of their teacher. That teacher, Chris Searle, who went on to be one of the most radical and internationalist educationalis…

We are our own educators!’
A tribute to Buzz Johnson (1951–2014), who created in the UK one of the most important and prolific black publishing houses on and for Caribbean peoples. For him publishing – anything from forgotten history to rap poetry, social commentary and fiction – which related to the Caribbean or the struggles of its peoples in the UK – was part of public education. He managed to recover forgotten histories, get up-and-coming writers known and keep in prin…

Revolutionary poet Peter Blackman has never received his due in either the Caribbean or the UK, where he made his home from 1937. The author has gathered selected poems and a speech by Blackman into a new collection, Footprints (Smokestack Books). This article discusses Blackman's life from 'colonised' schoolboy and missionary to Africa to railway worker in north London and sets his writing - especially his language - in the context of twentieth-…

Towards a cricket of the future
La saison 1995 de cricket professionnel en Angleterre avait pour la premiere fois depuis des annees pris une teinte lilas blanc : aucun joueur de couleur n'a en effet ete selectionne. L'A. retrace le contexte socio-politique qui a abouti a cette situation discriminatoire, laquelle est « justifiee » par des discours racistes familiers sur le sang, element sous-jacent des theories qui qualifie la race de « fait biologique immuable ». A travers l'hi…

Thatcher. Il se demande si cette structure permet d'ameliorer le fonctionnement des etablissements scolaires dans ce pays. Il montre que la plupart des ecoles des grandes villes sont confrontees a des problemes d'ordre culturel et linguistique parce q…
Drinking from one pot
Outside of expatriate Yemeni communities, very little is known in Europe or north America about Yemen and its people. The unification in May 1990 of the two separate Yemeni states, the Yemen Arab Republic in the north and the People's Democratic Republic of the Yemen in the south, created little interest in the establishment press of the West. And yet, this unity was achieved in an era of intense fragmentation of nations and secessionism in many …
The people's commentator
Cecil Belfon, The Flying Turkey, is the most celebrated calypsonian in Grenada. He is also a soldier in the People's Revolutionary Army. As he says: 'In the context of our society now, I have been able to combine the two functions, soldier and calypsonian, because the objectives of both roles have come together and make one and the same thing. ' Belfon was a bank clerk in the Royal Bank of Canada until 13 March 1979, the morning of the Grenada Re…

Struggling against the 'Bandastan
There is an almost total blackout of news on Malawi. What hard news we can get is mostly from exiles, ex-detainees who have fled the country. Foreign journalists and commentators are banned, as are many books and newspapers. The papers that are allowed to be sold are heavily censored - offending articles are simply inked out. After pressure from Callaghan, some foreign journalists were allowed in to report the 1978 elections (the first since 1962…

Agony and struggle in northern Somalia
In May 1991, the breakaway Somaliland republic was established in what had been the northern regions of Somalia, with its first president, Abdirahman Ahmed Ali. But this attempt at creating a stable polity in a rapidly disintegrating situation is yet to be recognised by western powers. The creation of this new republic was a direct result of the civil war in Somalia. This had begun to tear apart the fragile state from 1982, when the first organis…
