DESCRIPTION:In this lunchtime seminar from the Centre on the Dynamics of 
 Ethnicity (CoDE)\, Professor Stephen Small (University of California\, B
 erkeley) shares his research.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nThis talk is based on Steph
 en Small's new book of the same title\, published by Liverpool Universit
 y Press. The book describes the Black community in Liverpool and the arr
 ival\, embrace and transformation of waves of transnational Black cultur
 e from Africa\, the West Indies and the United States in the final three
  decades of the twentieth century. Transnational cultural influences wer
 e spread via the media\, brought first-hand by visitors to Liverpool\, a
 nd through Liverpool residents who travelled internationally.\n\nLiverpo
 ol’s Black community was fundamentally different from Black communities 
 in other cities in the 1970s because of the city's unique history. There
  were far more Africans than West Indians\, more long-term citizens than
  recent immigrants\, the highest proportion of inter-racial marriages an
 d people of mixed race in the nation\, and a far more vivid collective m
 emory of imperialism in West Africa than in any other city. One importan
 t difference is the far greater salience of African cultural patterns\, 
 revealed in African family names\, the largest concentration of African 
 clubs in the nation\, and the emergence of African-inspired organization
 s like Delado African Drum and Dance company\, the Steve Biko Housing As
 sociation\, and Amadudu women’s refuge.\n\nBlack Liverpool draws on over
  70 interviews with Black residents\, workers\, activists and celebritie
 s\, as well as private and public documents and newspapers\, to closely 
 examine the role of gender ideologies\, institutional practices and the 
 experiences of Black women\, alongside music and nightlife\, social and 
 political ideologies\, Black Studies courses\, language and dialect\, an
 d personal fashion\, dress and hairstyles. The religious and secular asp
 ects of Rastafarian beliefs and practices are also foregrounded.\n\nRECO
