"What does it mean to be Black in Scotland today? Why is it important to reflect on and archive Black Scottish lives? Can Black people in Scotland relate to a broader Black British experience and will Black Brits ever feel the need to connect to Black Scots? Coming at a point in time when notions of nationhood and "home" have been shaken up by the Scottish Independence referendum (2014) and Britain's European Union (EU) Membership referendum (2016), this book sheds light on issues related to race and Black identity in Scotland. This is the first study to focus on the present-day experiences of Black people in Scotland, and with firsthand testimony. The first book of its kind, Black Oot Here focuses on the lives of Black people in Scotland from the late twentieth century to the turbulent present, investigating issues regarding race, nationhood, media, resistance, creativity, inequality and ideology."--

The article argues that there is still need of black theology. Although apartheid is believed to have died and blacks have political power, the socio-economic and cultural realities and conditions that necessitated black theology are still prevalent. For as long as the black experiences involve pain and suffering there will be need to reflect theologically on what it means to be black in the South African context. This time around, as black theology is resuscitated, it should not merely be an academic- intellectual enterprise of the elites but it should seriously be in such a way that it has an organic relationship with the poor and oppressed. For black theology to be sustainable it has to be done in the context of theological reflection not from the Ivory towers such as academia but together with and alongside the poor and the oppressed, as well as their ecclesiastical and social movements

The continuing failure of the Labour Party to nominate black can didates for Parliament has led to the demand by some of its black members for special 'Black Sections' to represent black interests. The suggestion has been denounced as `repellent' by the Labour leadership, and as 'divisive of the class' by a section of the Left. On the eve of the Labour Party Conference, the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism asked A. Sivanandan for a race/class perspective on the subject. The in terview which follows was taken from Searchlight, October 1985.

An examination of an independent national survey did not find black people to be less concerned about the quality of the environment than Whites; their concern was found to be almost identical. Yet rates of environmental participation were found to be significantly lower for Blacks, even after controlling for SES and other variables. (Abstract amended)

'Der vorliegende Artikel diskutiert die Einflüsse von Black Feminism auf feministische Theoriebildung. Unter Black Feminism wird im Folgenden afrikanisch-amerikanischer Feminismus verstanden, wobei dessen Hauptkritik an 'weißer' feministischer Forschungspraxis an deren unreflektierter Ausgrenzung und Dominanz ansetzt. Dabei geht es den Black Feminists vor allem um die Vernachlässigung von Differenzen zwischen Frauen. Ihre Kritik führte seit Mitte der 80er-Jahre dazu, dass innerhalb feministischer Theoriebildung die Kategorie Geschlecht um die Kategorien Ethnizität, Klasse, Sexualität, u.a. erweitert werden musste. Die Debatte in der feministischen Wissenschaft bewegte sich damit über die Geschlechterdualität hinaus hin zu einer Diskussion um die Differenzen zwischen Frauen. Damit steht sie allerdings vor neuen, beinahe unlösbaren Problemen: Wenn nicht mehr von einem gemeinsamen Kollektiv 'Wir Frauen' die Rede sein kann, ist die 'Geschäftsgrundlage' des Feminismus gefährdet. Es werden entsprechende aktuelle Debatten, Strategien und Vorschläge innerhalb der amerikanischen feministischen Theoriebildung vorgestellt.' (Autorenreferat)
