ESSAY ON: Fashion as a Means of Empowerment for the Black Community in Britain

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: This is a 7 page paper discussing the idea that fashion can be used and is used by the black community in Britain as a means of empowerment and self-identity. Although there has been an established black community in Britain for over 400 years, inequality still exists. Critics believe that this generation of blacks in Britain associated themselves more with their blackness than their parents’ heredity or that of Britain. The blacks in Britain have begun several forms of resistance one of which is reflected in their fashions and clothing which are similar to that of African Americans. Through the Black Fashion Collective, African Americans have established a unified black fashion industry which also does a great deal of support of African American non-profit services. Critics however do not know if establishing a black fashion industry in Britain will succeed or be considered “trendy” as was the black artists’ movement in the 1980s. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
