In recent years there has been an increased scholarly focus on Black British history and histories of racialisation and resistance in Britain. Important historical monographs such as Kennetta Perry’s London is the Place for Me (2016) and Shirin Hirsch’s In the Shadow of Enoch Powell (2018) have explored the development of racialised communities and their multifarious approaches to building community and resisting racism in Britain. This workshop invites papers from racially minoritised scholars who are conducting novel and nuanced research into new historical actors, perspectives or geographies within this growing field. It will be a collaborative and constructive space in which we can develop our ideas and arguments.
