radio extract 1958 task 5








what is being represented?


in this video racial violence is being represented, we hear at the beginning of the video that a man is saying an immediate evils of the invasion is breeding. he states that he does not want a mulatto Britain (this is when a person has one black and one white parent). The voice over then says that something new and ugly has raised its head in Britain, this says to me that he is talking about black people living in Britain.







who is being represented? 


I think that white and black people are being represented in  this video. This is because we hear the two sides of the story, one side from white people who are talking about how they don't want black people in Britain and how they don't want a mulatto Britain. Then we don't get much from the black gentleman who speaks but he tells us that he was told britain will never stay black, then he says he is still here today. this tells me he was told at a young age that britain would not stay black and when he is grown he tells us he is still here. 



How is the representation constructed? (communicated?)


This is communicated by racial violence. a white man who talks on the video says he wants to stop immigration by removing the problem all together. He then states he wants to do this by blind violence. At the beginning of the video the voice over tells us that are different opinions about how to fight it, but we know that blind violence didn't work because the Black man in Britain now tells us that he is still here now.
