Brixton in south London was once regarded as the spiritual home of the Caribbean community. However, after waves of gentrification and regeneration, Richie set out to find out whether Brixton is still the home of Caribbean culture in Britain.
Within a mile of the famous Brixton Market, Richie speaks with the owner of The Black Farmer brand, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE, who recently opened his delicatessen and eatery on Brixton Row. Richie also speaks with Brian Danclair, who opened his first restaurant in Brixton before gentrification and now owns three establishments in the area. Richie visits two cultural projects, the Black Cultural Archives with Wanda Wyporska and Kimberley McIntosh, and Brixton House with Michelle McGrath and Monique Baptiste-Brown, to discover how they are helping to preserve the history and community that represent the Caribbean community today. We also look to the team behind the Luton Carnival 50 project, which is working collaboratively to conserve the legacy of Luton’s Caribbean Carnival.
