- Description:
- Three black journals (Wasu, The Keys and The Black Man) published in London during the interwar years are the focus of this thesis. Previously, they have been studied by historians for the light they shed on the activities of the organizations that sponsored them. In contrast, this thesis considers how those writing for the journals met their political needs and assisted Africans and people of African descent to engage with the white world that surrounded them by constructing images of Britain, Europe and Western civilization. This thesis illustrates the role of print in allowing blacks in Britain to reclaim a sense of power that was otherwise undermined by racial discrimination.
