Synopsis

This is the report from the "Black and White in Colour Conference: Prospects for Black Intervention in Television", which brought together major television controllers, black programme- and film-makers, and key decision-makers from leading film and television companies. The book presents a summary of the topics which were debated at the conference - with figures such as Lenny Henry as well as with Heads of the BBC and British Screen - and includes an overview of some of the main trends that have taken place in black programming over the last few years. In particular, the conference addressed the presumption that there is already a significant level of black participation in British television. Featuring contributions from academics, writers and film-makers, including Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, Mike Phillips, Isaac Julian and Lola Young, this book showcases some of the critical dilemmas being confronted in black film and television in Britain today.
