'Black Britain' on Prezi

The media texts are representative of the changing landscape of Black Britain in the past, present and future because the people in these texts are provoking change and trying to change the bad reputation and stigma people have of Black Britain.

The film Flame in the Streets was produced in 1961 must have provoked controversy because it was seen as promoting a 'melato Britain' but, the purpose of this film is to change the attitudes of people on racism in society.

There is also a change in the landscape of Black Britain from the past because now artists that are not black.are now producing music that people consider to be 'black music'. This may be because urban music has become widely known across the world and these artists have started to sing songs that they have been heavily influenced by. For example, RnB and grime artists like N-Dubz and Devlin have been influenced by urban music because of their background.

Bob Marley's music was widely known across the world. In the 60s his music helped West Indians to find solace from the way they were targeted in society.
