Black & Brown Resistance in the UK (1960s-80s) w/ Preeti Dhillon

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we discuss a fascinating new book The Shoulders We Stand On: How Black and Brown people fought for change in the United Kingdom with its author, Preeti Dhillon.  This conversation is a terrific look at the repression against racially oppressed communities in the UK from the 1960s-80s, and the resistance of those communities.  This episode works excellently in conjunction with our previous episode  African & Caribbean People in Britain - A History w/ Hakim Adi, so be sure to listen to that episode as well if you have not already!
