Black Arsenal
By by Clive Chijioke Nwonka (Editor), Matthew Harle (Editor)

Arsenal is unique. Its multicultural fan base shows a developing metropolis and a distinct affinity with black British popular culture. Arsenal has emerged as a potent emblem of an organic and convivial multiculture, both to decades of fielding legendary black players on the pitch and the historic and diverse traditions of its terraces. Black Arsenal is the first focused investigation of Arsenal's relationship with current Black identity and culture, beginning with indications in the late 1960s and culminating with the club's global success. The club's fondness for black identity extends beyond football and into other cultures, including the media, music, fashion, politics, and ordinary social encounters. Black Arsenal investigates how a new black iconography arose at Arsenal at significant points in British history, becoming critical to the construction of new forms of black identification. With contributions from former legends Ian Wright and Paul Davis, critical appraisals from Paul Gilroy, Gail Lewis, and Clive Chijioke Nwonka, and personal responses from Clive Palmer, Ezra Collective, Amy Lawrence, and others, Black Arsenal explores the moments, stories, and experiences that shaped Arsenal into an important and underappreciated aspect of modern Black British culture and identity.
