From 1973 to 1988, Race Today, the journal of the revolutionary Race
Today Collective was at the epicentre of the struggle for racial justice
in Britain. Placing race, sex and social class at the core of its
analysis, it featured in its articles and pamphlets contributions from
some of the leading writers and activists of the time: C. L. R.
James, Darcus Howe, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou,
Walter Rodney, Bobby Sands, Farrukh Dhondy and Mala Sen and many more.
Here to Stay, Here to Fight, draws together many of these key articles
and extracts into an impressive collection - the first book-length
anthology of its kind - rescuing many contributions from the obscurity
of inaccessible archives.
Framing the original contributions,
there is a general introduction, which provides an overview of Race
Today's 15-year history, section introductions providing context for
each extract, written by writers and activists associated with the
Collective, and a concluding section exploring the legacy of Race Today
in contemporary social movements and debates around race, gender and
class.
