Fashion as a Means of Empowerment for the Black Community in Britain
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the idea that fashion can be used and is used by the black community in Britain as a means of empowerment and self-identity. Although there has been an established black community in Britain for over 400 years, inequality still exists. Critics believe that this generation of blacks in Britain associated themselves more with their blackness than their parents’ heredity or that of Britain. The blacks in Britain have begun several forms of resistance one of which is reflected in their fashions and clothing which are similar to that of African Americans. Through the Black Fashion Collective, African Americans have established a unified black fashion industry which also does a great deal of support of African American non-profit services. Critics however do not know if establishing a black fashion industry in Britain will succeed or be considered “trendy” as was the black artists’ movement in the 1980s. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Features of the Multiple Heritage of Africans
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the multiple heritage of Africans. Throughout Africa and countries where Africans live, the heritage of the African people has been influenced by a great many factors due to slavery, colonization, religion and aspects of the African continent itself. Africans for years relied on a religion and lifestyle which was based on the enormity and diversity of their continent and because it was surrounded by water were relatively well protected from outside influences. During the era of colonization however, a great many Western influences came into Africa affecting the land and the people. The Africans were enslaved by Westerners, the Arab world and in many cases, members of other tribes. The Arabs introduced the religion of Islam while the Europeans introduced the religion of Christianity which were both infused into the traditional African religions. Today, Africans have a multiple, or triple heredity based on these three influences and despite the conflict which also ensued by the introduction of other factors which followed with colonization and slavery, have been successful in adapting to this multiple heredity.
