| Dr. Liam J. Liburd examines race and racism in the British prison system through Black British history, focusing on a troubling 1970s episode. In 1977, the Black Liberation Front’s newspaper, *Grassroots*, exposed Wandsworth prison officers’ ties to the National Front, a white supremacist group. Liburd places this incident within the broader context of Britain’s authoritarian shift, connecting it to the racial crisis in prisons. His research reveals the impact of white supremacist movements on British society and incarceration, contributing to a deeper understanding of race and racism in British history. |
