My doctoral thesis will analyse the intersection of race, class, and space in the everyday life of the working classes in North West England, extending my MA research on the 1950s and 60s. The thesis will investigate how five spaces - the street, home, workplace, school, and leisure sites - were racialised in post-war England between Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968 and the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993. This time-frame will extend the familiar emphasis on the period from 1948-68 to chart the development of a Black-British identity in three contexts: the 'moral panics' of the 1970s and 80s, the rise of multiculturalism, and urban regeneration projects in areas such as Hulme.The thesis will primarily focus on Manchester, but will also explore North West England more broadly. The region has received less attention from scholars than the 'race relations capitals' (Connell) of London and the Midlands. My thesis will not only extend previous research into underexplored locations, but also shift attention from radical activism to the micropolitics of everyday life. My research will extend recent scholarship by historians such as Waters and Connell which seeks to recover black agency in staking claims to specific locales, by also analysing the strategies deployed to obstruct and prohibit such claims. I will deploy the expansive definition of 'blackness' in this scholarship and explore communities of African, Caribbean, and Asian heritage, acknowledging the pluralities of a 'Black-British' identity.The thesis will deploy space as its central analytic tool in order to complicate static narratives of community and highlight the ambivalence of ideas of race across different sites. I will explore three key, yet underexplored, dimensions of race relations. First, how were individual and collective identities formed in specific spaces? Secondly, how did collective understandings of difference and familiarity in regard to race influence notions of belonging? Finally, how were the boundaries of belonging policed in different spaces? I will adopt Doreen Massey's definition which stresses the multidimensionality and fluidity of space, with individuals and communities competing to assert their authority.

我的博士论文将分析种族，阶级和空间在英格兰西北部工人阶级的日常生活中的交集，扩展我在20世纪50年代和60年代的硕士研究。本文将探讨如何在战后英格兰的五个空间-街道，家庭，工作场所，学校和休闲场所-之间的种族化以诺鲍威尔的“血河”的讲话在1968年和1993年的谋杀斯蒂芬劳伦斯。这一时间框架将延长从1948年至1968年期间的熟悉的重点图表的发展，在三个方面：20世纪70年代和80年代的“道德恐慌”，多元文化主义的兴起，以及城市再生项目，如Hulme.The论文将主要集中在曼彻斯特，但也将探讨英格兰西北部更广泛的地区。与伦敦和中部地区的“种族关系之都”（康奈尔）相比，该地区受到的学者关注较少。我的论文不仅将把以前的研究扩展到探索不足的地方，而且还将注意力从激进行动主义转移到日常生活的微观政治。我的研究将扩展最近的奖学金由历史学家，如沃茨和康奈尔，旨在恢复黑色机构在赌注声称特定的地点，还分析了部署的战略，以阻止和禁止这种索赔。我将部署在这个奖学金的“黑人”的广泛定义，并探讨非洲，加勒比海和亚洲遗产的社区，承认一个“黑人英国”的身份的多元化。论文将部署空间作为其中心的分析工具，以复杂的静态叙述社区和突出的矛盾心理的想法，种族在不同的网站。我将探讨种族关系的三个关键但尚未充分探讨的方面。首先，在特定的空间中，个人和集体的身份是如何形成的？第二，关于种族差异和熟悉的集体理解如何影响归属观念？最后，在不同的空间中，归属的边界是如何被管制的？我将采用Doreen Massey的定义，强调空间的多维性和流动性，个人和社区都在竞争以维护他们的权威。
