1958年诺丁山骚乱的影响往往在政治权利的历史中占有一席之地，作为反移民情绪的激励力量，或者作为黑人大西洋跨国历史的激进催化剂。与此同时，在骚乱之后涌向诺丁山的那一代黑人和白人社会工作者和活动人士，在很大程度上被排除在英国左派的历史之外。本文将1958年以后的诺丁山视为新进步思想和行动的重要场所。它试图考虑“社区”思想在诺丁山所做的政治工作，使我们能够考虑反种族主义政治如何以复杂的方式与战后英国进步政治的重塑联系起来。它揭示了黑人活动家如何重新利用“社区”的语言来批评反种族主义的改良福利主义方法。它还揭示了英国新左派被遗忘的折衷主义开端。通过挖掘社区工作和“自下而上”的新左派行动主义的历史，本文追溯了一群由卫理公会牧师、基督教工人、学生、社会工作者和社区领袖组成的形形色色的群体如何测试战后社会民主国家的自由家长制和“普遍主义”的极限。
The impact of the 1958 Notting Hill riots tends to figure in histories of the political right, as a galvanizing force for anti-immigrant sentiment—or as radical catalyst in the transnational history of the Black Atlantic. Meanwhile, the generation of black and white social workers and activists who flocked to Notting Hill after the riots have largely been left out of the history of the British left. This article treats Notting Hill after 1958 as an important locale of new progressive thinking and action. It seeks to consider the political work that the idea of “community” did in Notting Hill, allowing us consider how the politics of antiracism relates in complex ways to the reformulation of progressive politics in postwar Britain. It reveals how black activists came to reappropriate the language of “community” to critique the ameliorative, welfarist approach to antiracism. It also unearths the forgotten eclectic beginnings of Britain's New Left. By excavating the history of community work and New Left activism “from below,” this article traces the ways in which a motley group of Methodist ministers, Christian Workers, students, social workers, and community leaders tested the limits of the liberal paternalism and “universalism” of the postwar social democratic state.
