There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack is an influential book by Paul Gilroy about racial relations in Great Britain. The work critically analyzes the attitudes of British intellectuals and politicians toward race and, upon its publication in 1987, led to fierce debates. This book offers a deep and incisive look at racial discourses and opts for a new direction in discussions about race in England.
This Routledge Classics edition of Ain’t No Black includes a new introduction by Gilroy himself. The book remains current and relevant as an essential work for anyone seeking insight into the cultural and political aspects of race in the United Kingdom.
