- More about Whiteness and the Visual Appropriation of Race in 1980s Britain
This volume delves into the complex topic of race relations in 1980s Britain by examining the concept of whiteness and how it was portrayed visually in popular art and mass media.
Chapters explore pivotal moments in which the appropriation of race occurred during this critical decade as they relate to the nation''s evolving postcolonial identity. This book analyses pivotal cultural moments in print media, fashion, film, television, music video, art, and live events that exemplify how race, gender and sexuality became operative in the way Britain imagined itself in this crucial decade. It contends that the lens of its former colonial empire played a significant role in shaping Britain''s self-image throughout the 1980s despite its appearance as a postcolonial and multicultural nation.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, media studies, cultural studies, and critical race theory.
