Anandi has also written a blog post for Discover Society to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Southall Protests. The post is related to her research for her book Black Star: Britain’s Asian Youth Movements and charts the opposition by Asian Youth Movements to the rise of neo-fascism and accompanying racial violence in across Britain in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
