The book explores how BBC management attempted to address race relations for the benefit of white Britons and African Caribbeans as their presence in England increased beyond the post-war years. Archival documents are used to demonstrate how established policies often shifted, reflecting the changing social climate of the nation, and its audiences. -- .

Beginning in the 1930s and moving into the post millennium, this book provides a historical analysis of the policies and practices established by the BBC as it attempted to assist white Britons in adjusting to the presence of African-Caribbeans. Among the themes the book explores are current representations of race, the future of British television and its impact on multi-ethnic audiences. The chapters include an extensive analysis of television programming, along with personal interviews that reveal the efforts of black Britons working for the BBC, whether as writers, producers or actors. -- .
