Black men in Britain : an ethnographic portrait of the post-Windrush generation

Monrose, Kenny, author

Overview

\"While extensive attention has been paid to black youth, adult black British men are a notable omission in academic literature. This book is the first attempt to understand one of Britain's hidden populations - The post Windrush generation, who matured within a post-industrial British society that rendered them both invisible and irrelevant. Using ethnography, participant observation, interviews and his own personal experience, Kenny Monrose without an ounce of liberal angst, pulls no punches, and presents the reader with a fierce but sensitive study of a population that has been vilified and ignored. The widely disseminated portrait of black maleness which habitually constructs black men as being either violently dangerous, or a social failure, is challenged by granting black men in Britain the autonomy to speak on sociological significant issues candidly and openly for themselves. This reveals how this group has been forced to negotiate a glut of political shifts and socially imposed imperatives, ranging from Windrush to Brexit, and how this have impacted on their life course. This provides a cultural uplift, and offers an authenticated examination and privileged insight of black British culture. This book will be of interest to sociologists, cultural historians, sociologists and criminologists engaged with citizenship, migration, race, racialisation, and criminal justice\"-- Provided by publisher.
