About 40 years ago, the Brixton riots set the streets of London on fire. Even if depicted as a black-led riot, the uprising represents the outcome of a polycultural and mixed-race dialogue between black and white working-class youth that took place in the 60s and 70s. Trying to retrace the path of Brixton, this paper aims at showing how this alliance has been taking form within youth’s everyday experience and how it can help us facing limits and contradictions of contemporary institutional antiracism

Abstract

About 40 years ago, the Brixton riots set the streets of London on fire. Even if depicted as a black-led riot, the uprising represents the outcome of a polycultural and mixed-race dialogue between black and white working-class youth that took place in the 60s and 70s. Trying to retrace the path of Brixton, this paper aims at showing how this alliance has been taking form within youth’s everyday experience and how it can help us facing limits and contradictions of contemporary institutional antiracism
