This book represents the first systematic attempt to analyse media and
public communications published in Britain by people of African and
Afro-Caribbean origin during the aftermaths of war, presenting an
in-depth study of print publications for the period 1919-1924. This
was a period of post-conflict readjustment that experienced a
transnational surge in special interest newspapers and periodicals,
including visual discourse. This study provides evidence that the
aftermath of war needs to be given more attention as a distinctly
defined period of post-conflict adjustment in which individual voices
should be highlighted. As such it forms part of a continuing
imperative to re-discover and recuperate black history, adding to the
body of research on the aftermaths of The First World War, black
studies, and the origins of diaspora. Jane L. Chapman analyses how the
newspapers of black communities act as a record of conflict memory,
andspecifically how physical and political oppression was understood
by members of the African Caribbean community. Pioneering black
activist journalism demonstrates opinions on either empowerment or
disempowerment, visibility, self-esteem, and economic struggles for
survival.
