Young British and Black: The Work of Sankofa and Black Audio Film Collective

This book provides a critical exploration of the pioneering work of the Sankofa Film and Video Collective and the Black Audio Film Collective, two influential groups that emerged in the 1980s to challenge dominant narratives about Black identity in Britain. Through essays, interviews, and analyses, the publication examines how these collectives used experimental filmmaking, documentary, and essay films to interrogate race, history, and representation in the UK. Their work remains a cornerstone of Black British cultural production and postcolonial discourse, addressing themes such as migration, memory, and political struggle.
