The first ever collection of writing from the Brixton Black Women’s Group, one of the first and most important black radical organisations of the 1970s

"We came to Britain in search of better opportunities or to get some of the wealth which had been misappropriated from the Caribbean, but what in reality did we find?

Speak Out brings together the writings of Brixton Black Women''s Group for the first time, in a landmark collectionEstablished in response to the lack of interest in women''s issues experienced in male-dominated Black organisations, the Brixton Black Women''s Group''s aim was to create a distinct space where women of African and Asian descent could meet to focus on political, social and cultural issues as they affected black women.

Brixton Black Women’s Group published its own newsletter, Speak Out, which kept alive the debate about the relevance of feminism to black politics and provided a black women''s perspective on immigration, housing, health and culture.
