Isi artikel

The West Indian Gazette, edited by Claudia Jones, and on which Donald Hinds was a writer, was one of the most infl uential pioneers of a genuinely independent black press in Britain. To say that Claudia herself was a communist, feminist and anti-imperialist does not express the dynamism and humanity of her politics, or their innovative nature – including the introduction of the fi rst black carnival in Britain. She, and the Gazette, were immensely important in the creation of the black community in Britain from the late 1950s onwards, as it was beset by an ongoing and crude racism, including the riots of Notting Hill and Nottingham
