Kessous, Naaman – Western Journal of Black Studies, 1987

Lindsey, Lydia – Western Journal of Black Studies, 1989
Argues that the present status of Blacks in England has been shaped by the changing nature of the Empire and Commonwealth, the declining British economy, and political underrepresentation, and that it reflects immigration restrictions and the British polity's refusal to acknowledge the effect of adverse racial, colonial, and political factors.

Tryman, Donald L. – Western Journal of Black Studies, 1978
In politics, economics, education, and religion, Blacks still largely depend upon White institutions.
