The Politics of Black Presence in Britain and Black Male Exclusion in the British Education System

Miami University-Hamilton

This article examines Black settlement in the United Kingdom in relation to the experience of Black male exclusion in the British education system. The time frame covers the post-World War II era and the subsequent Enoch Powell era that manifested in anti-Black discrimination throughout British society in the 1960s to mid-1970s. During this period, people of color in British schools, particularly males of African Caribbean heritage, were experiencing poor results in terms of gaining education qualifications. A major contention is that one cannot divorce the broader anti-Black political sentiment from the British education system; the two are interwoven when it comes to understanding the plight of Black British school children in historical and contemporary times

Key Words: Black Britain • British education and Black males • racial politics and Black settlement in the United Kingdom
