This is the first comprehensive reference to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the field of black cultural in Britain since 1970. Its coverage includes writing, music, art, fashion and film. 'This companion will be welcomed by anyone interested in black British culture - it fills a gap, and is unequalled in its comprehensiveness and depth. This remarkable companion is packed with information and revelations, and will surely become an indispensable guide to anyone researching black British cultural production.' - Modern Humanities Research Association 'Contributors give a very personal view of the subjects and do not shy away from controversy or issues such as racism. Fascinating...this volume deserves to be in all collections on culture or contemporary British society.' - Choice
