  • Rob Waters. Thinking Black

    Open AccessSusan D PennybackerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2020

    Historical studies of metropolitan Britain have long excluded robust discussions of racial-political histories. Yet the field is now being awakened from slumber by new works of magnitude, as young scholars mine community-based archives as well as government-housed records, and as they speak in depth with those still living.
