这篇文章讲述了迄今为止不为人知的故事，讲述了不同的巴基斯坦组织如何动员起来应对东伦敦区塔哈姆雷特（1968-1970）的种族主义暴力和骚扰。在讲述这个故事时，作者分析了官方和公众对种族主义暴力的理解和反应的问题性质，以及它如何扭曲了种族化少数群体的生活。根据2014年进行的原始档案研究，这篇文章确定了巴基斯坦社区内部出现的两种不同的政治剧目：融合主义方法和自治方法。巴基斯坦福利协会（PWA）和巴基斯坦协会全国联合会（NFPA）参与的融合主义方法试图通过现有的地方国家“种族关系”机构和主流政治渠道解决问题，同时重新建立警察作为法律和秩序代理人的同意。相反，由巴基斯坦进步党（PPP）和巴基斯坦工人联盟（PWU）领导的黑人权力团体、反帝国主义者和社会主义者网络挑战了当地政治领导层和警察在塔哈姆雷特的权威，同时也破坏了亚洲人“软弱”和“被动”的刻板印象。在恢复这一失去的抵抗“巴基斯坦人”的插曲，释放后，以诺鲍威尔的煽动性讲话，本文作出了贡献的历史自主反种族主义的集体行动所进行的种族化的少数民族在英国。
This article tells the hitherto untold story of how different Pakistani organisations mobilised in response to racist violence and harassment in the east London Borough of Tower Hamlets (1968–1970). In telling this story, the authors analyse the problematic nature of official and public understandings of, and responses to, racist violence, and how it distorted the lives of racialised minorities. Drawing on original archival research carried out in 2014, this piece identifies the emergence of two distinct political repertoires from within the Pakistani community: the integrationist approach and the autonomous approach. The integrationist approach involving the Pakistani Welfare Association (PWA) and the National Federation of Pakistani Associations (NFPA) tried to address the problem through existing local state ‘race relations’ apparatuses and mainstream political channels, while at the same time re-establishing consent for the police as the agents of law and order. In contrast, a network of Black Power groups, anti-imperialists and socialists led by the Pakistani Progressive Party (PPP) and the Pakistani Workers’ Union (PWU) challenged both the local political leadership and the authority of the police in Tower Hamlets, while also undermining the stereotype of Asian people as ‘weak’ and ‘passive’. In recovering this lost episode of resistance to ‘Paki-bashing’, unleashed in the aftermath of Enoch Powell’s inflammatory speeches, this essay makes a contribution to the history of autonomous anti-racist collective action undertaken by racialised minorities in Britain.
