Préparation agrégation anglais civilisation britannique 46
Le Royaume-Uni à l'épreuve de la crise 1970-1979
The closing down of industries in Britain caused much hardship and unemployment in the 1970s. Governments or political leaders had a series of responses - from nationalization to tax cuts depending on their political ideas. Trade unions sometimes organized strikes against redundancies. But this documentary is about another response from trade unionist: the alternative corporate plan. Workers in Lucas Aerospace wanted to persuade their company to make different, more socially useful products, instead of closing factories.
The documentary is here.

Le Royaume-Uni à l'épreuve de la crise 1970-79
This documentary looks at the movement "Rock against racism" and its rise in the late 1970s. This very influential network brought together in a very innovative manner young Black and young White people in hundreds of gigs and other events across the country.
This documentary looks at the movement "Rock against racism" and its rise in the late 1970s. This very influential network brought together in a very innovative manner young Black and young White people in hundreds of gigs and other events across the country.
The spark
which led to the rise of Rock against Racism was the reaction by a group of
left wingers to Eric Clapton’s drunken racist tirade at a concert in Birmingham.
A letter to the music press brought hundreds of replies, and the network became
much more powerful than its initiators had thought possible. In the following
months, dozens of local concerts were organized following the RAR recipe: black
reggae groups and white punk groups playing on the same bill, the black group
always top of the bill. The result was both the mixing of musics, as different
influences met each other, and the mixing of different audiences which up to
then had been subject to de facto unthinking racial segregation : reggae
music had been for Blacks and punk music for Whites.[1]
[1] With a
small number of notable exceptions such as mixed race woman singer Poly Styrene
from the punk group X ray Spex.
