She is the author of Imperial Persuaders (Manchester University Press, 2003) and Black Star (Pluto, 2013). Klappentext Tells the history of Britain's Asian Youth Movements from the 1970s and 1980s and shows their importance in creating today's multiracial Britain. The impasse of twenty-first century war-on-terror murder-death-kill paranoid keep-calm-and-carry-on proto-fascist anxiety is skewered by the sharp posters, the enthusiasm, the dedication, the long vigils, and the styles and phrasings of all those left-wing uncles and radical aunts who hoarded boxes of leaflets and pamphlets in back rooms and in attics so they could one day be retrieved as testimony to a difficult settlement in multi-racial Britain. That this book retrieves this history as a living, and urgent, heritage - with the principle of 'self defense as no offense' still prominent - is an absolutely necessary triumph. -- Professor John Hutnyk, Goldsmiths College This fascinating account, told from the point of view of the Asian Youth Movements of the 1970s and 80s, reclaims an important chapter in the history of the struggle of working-class Black communities against racism in Britain. The politics of that period, the strategies of struggle and the responses of the British state are still enormously relevant today. -- Amrit Wilson, author of Dreams Questions Struggles Zusammenfassung Tells the history of Britain's Asian Youth Movements from the 1970s and 1980s and shows their importance in creating today's multiracial Britain.
