NFG Communities of Resistance

‘There is no socialism after liberation, socialism is the process through which liberation is won.’ Each of these essays acts as a critical reaffirmation of socialist politics as the context for questions of race and resistance. The left itself is under scrutiny here – from a black perspective. A series of powerful interventions covers many of the issues which have confronted radical politics in the 1980s: inner-city uprisings, the demand for black sections in the Labour Party, local government anti-racism, the move to a common European market.
