Race is back on the agenda in Britain with a vengeance, Darcus Howe argues. Despite gains made in the wake of the inner-city uprisings of the 1980s and the publication of the Macpherson Report, in many ways Britain has changed for the worse for Black communities. To support his position Mr. Howe will chart the return of police stop-and-search tactics, the drift of young Black men into violence, increasing hostility against immigrants and Muslims, and the establishment’s accommodation of the fascist BNP party.

A veteran campaigner, broadcaster and journalist for The Voice and the New Statesman and the former editor of Race Today, Darcus Howe’s is a voice to be reckoned with. His polemical and often controversial views make this an event not for the faint-hearted.
