Responses of the Black Community in Post-War Britain from Experiences of Racism
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing the political and cultural responses of the black community in post-war Britain to their experiences of racism. Post-war Britain saw the tremendous increase of immigration from citizens of the Commonwealth. The immigration resulted in a great increase in the black population and immediately anti-black riots and protests began. Racial attacks were blatant and seemed to be supported by the police organizations and as a result many black local and national organizations were formed in an attempt to protect the black communities from violent attacks and to provide a political base for change. Little change occurred however until the 1980s when the government finally recognized that some crimes were “racially motivated”. Despite this recognition, violent racial attacks continued with few arrests and convictions until the number of racial attacks today are estimated at over 140,000 per year. The last fifty years saw the formation of many anti-racist and black supported organizations such as the Pan-African Federation (1940s), the League of Colored Persons and the Colonial Defence Committee (1940s and 1950s), the Inter-Racial Friendship Coordinating Council (1950s), Black Panthers in the Liverpool area (1960s) and most recently the London Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (1990s) among many others. Despite these organizations, there have also been powerful and racist political parties formed such as the National Front (1960s) and the British National Party which increased in support in the 1990s. Racism against the black communities within Britain has not abated resulting in an increase in the ghettoization of black communities and many black people choosing to leave the country.

Review and Analysis of Jonathan Kozol’s “Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper reviewing and analyzing Kozol’s 1995 book “Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation”. Jonathan Kozol’s 1995 book “Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation” tells the story of the lives and living conditions of families in the South Bronx, New York neighborhood of Mott Haven. Kozol believes that not only is this neighborhood one of the most impoverished and dangerous in New York but probably within the entire United States. The book is done quite often in first person narrative as the author had visited the neighborhood several times throughout the research process of the text and interviewed a number of the residents. He not only interviews the residents to document his findings but also reveals several of his own feelings which helps generate an additional impact to the plight of the situation for the reader. Critics view his work as incomplete however as he ignores several of the positive and progressive projects which have been undertaken in the area to improve situations. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

This is a 5 page review of Howard Jones’ “Mutiny on the Amistad”. Howard Jones’ 1987 book “Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy” tells of a true story which took place in 1839 and enhanced the cause of the abolitionists in the United States.
