Black Star documents the Asian Youth Movements that emerged in 1970s & 1980s Britain. These organizations, established by the children of early migrants, were determined to struggle against both the racism of the street & the state. Anandi Ramamurthy shows how they drew inspiration from black power movements as well as anti-imperialist & workers struggles across the globe.

Ramamurthy traces how they saw themselves as part of a wider collective of people struggling for social justice & national liberation. In their struggle to make Britain their home they identified with a broad-based black unity where black was a political color inspiring unity amongst all those struggling against racism.

The book documents how by the late 1980s this broad based black identity disintegrated as Islamophobia became a new form of racism. In the process the legacy of the Asian Youth Movements has been largely hidden. Black Star retrieves this history & assesses it's importance for political struggles in Britain today.
