Communicative power is the ability of a communicative act to realize the intentions of its originators. Communicative acts are goal directed and rely on varying levels of collaboration in order to achieve their intended objectives. In an interesting polemic Paloma Mohamed argues that variations in communicative power are directly related to variations in other types of power in any society. Therefore low communicative power is directly related to inequality and social and economic marginalisation.This book takes a fascinating holistic, multi-level actor oriented approach to examining social change in two Caribbean countries. Mohamed evaluates the power of various communicative artefacts produced by various strata in those societies. She continues by investigating what constitutes this power, how it is used, how it is maintained and in whose interests. The result is a richly researched, deeply thoughtful and passionately argued case for placing communication at the core of evaluations of power and change in the world.

Barbados acquired the reputation of a country that punches above its weight. Ranked highest in the Caribbean and one of the highest globally as a developing country in the UN Human Development Index, this island paradise is the birthplace of The Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers, The Honourable George Lamming, and the multitalented Rihanna. It is also the ancestral home of Walter Tull, Shirley Chisholm, Irving Burgie, and Eric Holder Jr, among others. It is also the birthplace of both the sugar cane industry in the then-British Empire, then the most valued commodity, and rum, with the island producing some of the finest quality blends internationally. The only country that George Washington, the first President of the United States, visited outside of the North American mainland; through its 1651 Declaration of Independence and 1652 Charter, Barbados is credited with influencing the Founding Fathers and the framing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. On 30 November 1966, this phenomenal heritage was given focus and direction by The Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, the first Prime Minister and a National Hero of Barbados. Proclaimed the “Father of Independence”, it was said that this close friend of the leaders of his era including Michael Manley, Pierre Trudeau, Lee Kuan Yew, and Seretse Khama, “found Barbados a collection of villages and transformed them into a proud nation.” In this, the 50th year of Barbados’ Independence, this publication, with contributions from national, regional and international leaders and key speeches by Barrow himself, is a tribute to this extraordinary man who gave Barbadians the ability to hold their heads high and proud in this world, as a people worthy of respect. Like George Washington, he, and his name, are revered for his fathering a nation. This is a must-read for citizens of the modern Caribbean and those interested in leadership and the history, economics, politics and international relations of small states.

Currently, the most powerful man in the world is Barack Obama, and some people in the media industry refer to Oprah as the most powerful woman in the world; so for the first time, being Black and successful isn’t just about how well you can dance, sing or run. From Zadie Smith to Lewis Hamilton, and Tiger Woods to Kanya King, Black people are succeeding in areas that the world never expected. Yet there’s a flipside to all this: around 70 per cent of teenagers murdered in London are Black; half of all Black families are headed by a single parent; and 12 per cent of the UK prison population is Black.This book is a bold, fresh and honest approach to the problems that exist inside the Black community right now. While we might not like to admit it, there are problems. From the amusing to the violent, and from the silly to the painful, this book does what so many people can’t seem to get right – it defines what being Black is, and what being Black isn’t.

This unique book provides an insight into one of the most disturbing and under-reported issues to affect ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom.Through an assessment of diversity literature and interviews with police officers, it highlights the limited commitment to fulfilling McPherson’s recommendations and the value of diversity training to operational policing. Against the backdrop of Black deaths in police custody, the book questions the extent to which ‘institutionalised racism’ has been genuinely challenged.In October 2007, the Commission for Equality and Human Rights (CEHR) became operational. This development will place a growing emphasis on public bodies - such as the police - to meet their obligations as laid out in the Human Rights Act (1998). By drawing attention to a tragic and little-known problem, this book attempts to offer a genuine agenda for change.

This collection of essays focuses on the various forces of Black identity primarily within the context of the US and the UK in the twentieth century. It breaks new ground by examining Black identity on both sides of the Atlantic in relation to the African Diaspora. What is also unique is the fact that this volume provides a firm collaboration between Black British and African American scholars.Too often, Black experiences have been viewed in isolation from one another. Black Identity in the 20th Century enables the reader to compare and contrast themes relating to these two important locations.Covering a range of interdisciplinary topics, the book is divided into three interlocking sections.Part One examines Pan-African philosophy and practice, West Africans in Britain (1900-1960), and African American political struggle covering the Civil Rights Movement and Black Nationalism;Part Two considers the impact of Afrocentricity in challenging Western intellectual hegemony, the Black intellectual tradition and the role of Afrocentric social work in the UK;Part Three analyses the complexity and nuances of Black identity in terms of phenotype or physical markers and folklore via prose.It is written in a stimulating and accessible style, and includes contributions from relatively new voices in the field of Black Studies as well as distinguished scholars.

The hero of the Akan people of West Africa and our hero, Anancy, takes us on a journey through time and history. He reveals the heroic achievements of his people and guides us through the traumas that were inflicted on his motherland by the European Invaders from the 15th century onwards. Anancy takes us back to December 1492, when the three galleons commanded by Christopher Columbus ran aground on the rocky shoreline of Ayiti (Haiti). The event was to have dire consequences for the inhabitants of the island – the Taino people – and later the African continent. The enslavement and near extinction of the Taino people, through mining gold, silver and pearls for the Spanish invaders, created the demand for another source of free labour. Anancy is at the heart of the resistance to the enslavement of the local Taino people and the Africans in the ‘Recently Enslaved World’.Anancy uses his dual personality – as a man and a spider – to resist and torment the slave masters while inspiring and supporting his brothers and sisters to end their enslavement. He plays a central role in their resistance and ultimate liberation from the cane pieces throughout the islands of the Caribbean and on the mainland of South America.
