The Unfinished Politics of Race from Part II - Moments in Time and Place: Rethinking Everyday Politics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2022
This chapter focuses on struggles to dwell in the city that characterised a strand of both racist practice and responses to it.From attempts to purchase collectively housing to the rarely told stories of organised squatting and the emergence of the black housing movement, the forces of racist exclusion produced a Newtonian response; collective endeavours to claim the right to find somewhere to live in the cities of post-war Britain. These social movements racialised both the claim to dwell in the city and the challenges to patterns of discrimination. But the struggles which emerged from the grassroots and grew over the 1970s and 1980s also in some ways ran their course over time for reasons that are also considered in this chapter.
