This volume looks at Britain since 1948 – the year when the Empire Windrush brought a group of 492 hopeful Caribbean immigrants to the United Kingdom. “Post-war Britain” may still be the most common label attached to studies in contemporary British history, but the contributors to this book believe that “post-Windrush Britain” has an explanatory power which is equally useful. The objective is to study the Windrush generation and Enoch Powell’s now infamous speech not only in their original historical context but also as a key element in the political, social and cultural make-up of today’s Britain. Contributions to the book use a diversity of approaches: from the lucid, forward-looking assessment by Trevor Phillips, which opens the volume; through Patrick Vernon’s account of the legacy of Powell’s speech in Birmingham and how it inspired him to launch a national campaign for Windrush Day; to the plea from novelist and playwright Chris Hannan for a fully inclusive, national conversation to help overturn deeply ingrained prejudice in all parts of our society.

The South African War was a costly and bitterly contested struggle. It was fought in a region populated by five million people, four million of whom were black. This is the first history of the war to focus upon the wartime experiences of black people, and to examine the war in the context of a complex and rapidly changing colonial society increasingly shaped, but not yet transformed, by mining capital. The ways in which the war influenced the lives and livelihoods of different sections of the black population are studied - from chiefs and newspaper editors to peasant farmers and artisans, to farm tenants and industrial workers. Dr Warwick shows that black people were far more than either spectators to, or passive victims of, a white man's quarrel, and presents a thorough revision of accepted views on the war. He reveals the vital roles performed by black people in both the British and Boer armies, and shows how the regular and irregular participation of blacks exercised an influence upon the course of war.

L'objet de ce livre est de montrer que la dignité présente un autre visage lorsqu'elle émerge d'une histoire de la déshumanisation. À travers une analyse critique de la tradition philosophique européenne, Norman Ajari élabore une conception radicalement nouvelle de la dignité, entendue ici comme la capacité à se tenir debout entre la mort et la vie. Être africain ou afrodescendant, c'est provenir d'un peuple dont l'humanité fut contestée sur les plans juridique, scientifique, philosophique, théologique, économique, psychiatrique. On n'en continue pas moins à exiger des Afrodescendants qu'ils cessent de " ressasser ", de " ruminer " l'histoire coloniale, répétant ainsi une vieille injonction esclavagiste à l'oubli des ancêtres et à la méconnaissance de la communauté d'origine. Pourquoi prendre la question sous l'angle de la dignité ? La dignité est ce que le Blanc essaie d'abolir lorsqu'il exerce sa violence sur le Noir. Mais c'est aussi ce dont le Blanc se prive lui-même lorsqu'il exerce sa violence sur le Noir. Enfin, c'est ce que le Noir réaffirme collectivement lorsqu'il s'engage contre la domination blanche. Lorsque la dignité d'un jeune Noir est prise d'assaut, lorsqu'il est violé ou assassiné par les représentants de l'État, c'est une longue histoire de luttes, de conquêtes et d'affirmation d'une humanité africaine qui vacille et tremble sur ses bases. La Dignité ou la Mort propose une implacable analyse critique de la tradition philosophique européenne. Mais c'est pour mieux renouer avec l'histoire méconnue de la pensée radicale des mondes noirs. Les révoltes d'esclaves, la négritude, les usages révolutionnaires du christianisme en Amérique du Nord et en Afrique du Sud, l'ontologie politique seront autant d'étapes d'un véritable parcours de libération. La dignité est la capacité de l'opprimé à tenir debout entre la vie et la mort
