Welcome to the Jungle brings a black British perspective to the critical reading of a wide range of cultural texts; events and experiences arising from volatile transformations in the politics of ethnicity; sexuality and "race" during the 1980s. The ten essays collected here examine new forms of cultural expression in black film; photography and visual art exerging with a new generation of black British artists; and interprets this prolific creativity within a sociological framework that reveals fresh perspectives on the bewildering complexity of identity and diversity in an era of postmodernity. Kobena Mercer documents a wealth of insights opened up by the overlapping of Asian; African and Caribbean cultures that constitute Black Britain as a unique domain of diaspora.

Book is divided into sections ranging from The Arts; Sports; and Sunday Mornings (to name a few). The photographs vary in location and in era. Some of the people are easily recognizable historical figures and celebrities; while some look as though they could be friends or family. I showed the collection to my grandmother and she fell in love instantly; she said it reminded her of a family photo album. I may have to order her a copy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
