How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain!

Jimmy Saville and the BBC represent exactly the same reality.

He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “My family members are not great in number – and will never be. I always remember the loving and kind Eileen. She loved everything and sang a lot. Celine too. They were closer to my heart than I was to myself. The Israeli Occupation killed them while they were in their mother’s arms – when they were afraid.” “The whole family was in one room.” He added: “They took them out in pieces. A few months ago, my sister Hadeel had received a job promotion at her work in the Rafah Governorate and was appointed as a Secondary School Teacher. She dreamed of a beautiful future for her children and was happy to have given birth to a boy. To me, she was a loving mother, a close sister, and a smart nanny.” “She was the first to give me books to read. She always believed in the importance of reading, and this is the approach she tried to follow with her children.”
