Liverpool '81


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2011
Published to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the infamous uprisings that shook Liverpool in 1981, this fascinating volume recounts the history of what became known nationally as the Toxteth Riots. Drawing together memories of and responses to the riots by some of the key protagonists, Liverpool ’81 explores the reasons why they took place as well as what their consequences and legacies have been. Additional chapters focus on what has become of the people and places most directly affected by the riots—black and minority communities, as well as inner city residents in Liverpool and beyond—and how these communities have reacted and moved on over the past thirty years.

Recenzii

“Through an intermingling of contemporaneous accounts and reflections from the present, the authors identify some of the social problems at the core of the riots and evaluate the efficacy of the various solutions that followed. Frost, a sociologist, and Phillips, a geographer, produce an engaging synthesis of oral histories, published memoirs, and official reports….The book presents numerous viewpoints yet remains eminently accessible, even to those without background knowledge of postwar British history.”
