Dear Colleagues,
Members of this list may be interested in a recently published article by Carol Tulloch, 'A Riot of Our Own: A Reflection on Agency', which focuses on the Rock Against Racism Movement in Britain during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the continuing importance of its anti-racism today:

The article is available free through open access at The Open University's Open Arts Journal (issue 3), in the context of a major collection of writings (230+ pages, with accompanying video footage) on the theme 'Disturbing Pasts: Memories, Controversies and Creativity'. http://openartsjournal.org/issue-3/
'Disturbing Pasts' was a two-year international research project led by Leon Wainwright focused on a conference at the Museum of Ethnology, Vienna/Weltmuseum Wien, that brought together artists, scholars, cultural policy-makers and museum curators from around the world. The project was funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) and the European Union, and further details may be found here:http://www.open.ac.uk/Arts/disturbing-pasts/
