About the book

This book celebrates an important symbolic event for anti-racism in Britain - the 1985 renaming of the Dalston Library to the C.L.R. James Library. Behind the decision is an inspiring hidden history of resistance to racism. Features rare interviews and contributions from the activists who made it happen to describe a historic moment when black self-organisation, municipal socialism and anti-racist campaigning came together and won. It also includes a previously unpublished speech given by C.L.R. James in 1983 to Hackney Black Alliance.
