More on Paul Gilroy's Theory
- Black music articulated diasporic experiences of resistance to white capitalist culture.
- Employs the notion of "diaspora" and how ethnic minorities (particularly black people) experience dislocation from their homeland. Eg. feeling as if you do not totally belong in Britain but you also are considered "English" in the Caribbean, Africa or Asia etc
