Includes bibliographical references and index.
"The Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture is the first comprehensive reference book to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the field of black cultural production in Britain. The publication is of particular value because, despite attracting growing academic interest in recent years, this field is still often subject to critical and institutional neglect." "For the purpose of the Companion, the term 'black' is used to signify African, Caribbean and South Asian ethnicities, while at the same time addressing the debates concerning notions of black Britishness and cultural identity." "This single-volume Companion covers seven intersecting areas of black British cultural production since 1970: writing; music; visual and plastic arts; performance works; film and cinema; fashion and design; and intellectual life. With entries on distinguished practitioners, key intellectuals, seminal organisations and concepts, as well as popular cultural forms and local activities, the Companion is packed with information and suggestions for further reading, as well as offering a wide lens on the events and issues that have shaped the cultural interactions and productions of black Britain over the last thirty years."--BOOK JACKET.
