Looks at the relationship between black workers and the changing
labour patterns, and also provides an historical context of the
development of the small black populations that were present in
the sixteenth century to the disadvantaged black working class
of today. Examines the underlying ideology of colonial
institutions, including slavery, indentureship, and trade
unionism, and considers the role of the nineteenth century black
radicals in working class struggles. Assesses the emergence of
black radical ideology underpinning twentieth century struggles
against racism, racial attacks, industrial and employment issues
