项目摘要

During the evening of the 4 May 1978, a day of political tension amid local elections, Altab Ali, a 25-year-old Bengali leather garments worker, was brutally stabbed and murdered by three youths in a racially-motivated attack on Adler Street, close to Whitechapel Road in London's East End. According to Ali (1994, 24) Altab Ali's murder 'marked a turning point in the political awakening of the Bangladeshi community in Tower Hamlets'. It was followed on May 15th by a march of over 7,000 Bengalis who followed Ali's coffin from Brick Lane to Downing Street to protest against the racist attacks that had become an all too common occurrence in East London. Further violent attacks on local Bengali people, including killing of another Bengali man Ishaque Ali in neighbouring Hackney, took place in June, prompting a summer of protest and political mobilisation where local Bengali organisations formed alliances with other political factions as part of an anti-fascist and anti-racist struggle (Eade 1989, Leech 1994). The scale of the movement was unprecedented, mobilising and forging alliances with anti-racist struggles across and beyond London, and was crucial in its subsequent mainstream political recognition (Eade 1989, Tatari 2015). Yet the movement struggles to sustain itself and by the early 1980s was turning both inwards and towards a slow institutionalisation of its key leaders. How to explain such a rapid process of mobilisation and institutionalisation of a movement that laid the basis for Bengali activism in London?

1978年5月4日晚，在地方选举中政治局势紧张的一天，25岁的孟加拉皮革服装工人阿尔塔布·阿里在伦敦东区靠近白教堂路的阿德勒街被三名年轻人残忍地刺伤和杀害。根据阿里（1994，第24页）的说法，阿尔塔布·阿里的谋杀“标志着塔哈姆雷特孟加拉社区政治觉醒的转折点”。5月15日，超过7,000名孟加拉人跟随阿里的灵柩从布里克巷游行到唐宁街，抗议在东伦敦司空见惯的种族主义袭击。6月发生了对当地孟加拉人的进一步暴力袭击，包括在邻近的哈克尼杀害另一名孟加拉人Ishaque Ali，引发了一场夏季的抗议和政治动员，当地孟加拉组织与其他政治派别结成联盟，作为反法西斯和反种族主义斗争的一部分（Eade 1989，Leech 1994）。这场运动的规模是前所未有的，动员并与伦敦内外的反种族主义斗争结成联盟，对随后的主流政治认可至关重要（Eade 1989，Tatari 2015）。然而，这场运动努力维持自己，到20世纪80年代初，它的主要领导人开始转向内向和缓慢的制度化。如何解释这样一个快速的动员和制度化的运动，奠定了基础，孟加拉激进主义在伦敦？
