THE UNION
Afro-Caribbean Society was established by an enterprising group of Year 12 pupils who felt the need for a discursive space to celebrate, share, debate and discuss cultural and political issues relating to the African diaspora and the ways these issues are inflected in contemporary British society. There is a regular postcolonial seminar and the format for our meetings tends to favour a mixed panel of teachers and pupils leading the group in discussion of a particular topic. Topics have included The Windrush Generation at 70, Orientalism, Racism in Sport, Mugabe, Gaddafi, and Marxist thought, The Culture of Rap and LGBT+ Rights in the Commonwealth. The committee would like to emphasise that the Afro-Caribbean Culture Society is for everyone: the questions we explore are questions for our whole society and for the entire community of the College.
