A Liverpool lecturer was impressed by the writing style, and introduced the book to her course
Professor Stephen Small and Jimi Jagne, from Toxteth, co-authored a book, 1981 Black Liverpool Past & Present. The book shares experiences of community activism before and after 1981.
"This book is about Black people, by Black people to document our experiences and analysis of British racism, past and present in England. It's about the lives, views and analysis of our experiences living, working and going to school in Liverpool”. Professor Small teaches in the USA, but regularly returns to Liverpool where his family is. He studied sociology at the University of California, Berkeley in 1989 and teaches about the comparative history and sociology of Black people across the African Diaspora, with particular focus on the USA, Caribbean and England.
Dr Abu-Bakare added: "1981 gives a kind of history to what they were physically looking at when on walking tours all students felt they learned more about what’s going on around them than they usually would. It made them, in reflective assignments they wrote, inspired to continue learning about anti-racism, activism and the history of Liverpool from a racial perspective".
Jimi feels many people associate Rastafari with Bob Marley, and said: “People need to understand Rastafarianism is a religion. Rastafari addressed very important social issues in the 1970s, extremely racist times, more so for us being young people". Prof Small and Jimi had put their heads together writing a series of articles to promote history and activism in Liverpool and beyond by attending talks and events. A reader, excited by their work, put some of it together, and following discussion, that’s how the book came out, published by Serendipity Publishers in 2022.
