Aiming for a better understanding of the impact the Communist Party had on anti-racist politics, he has made a close reading of the party’s publications, its internal documents and the secondary literature. The result is a carefully written study of the party’s policy on race. Starting with the Communist Party at the height of its influence, with around 50,000 members and two MPs, he covers four decades to the early 1980s when, wracked by internal arguments, the party split and lost its political significance.
