Abstract

This article examines the movement, led by prominent black British activists, which was established in the aftermath of the 1981 New Cross fire. The campaign showed how the racism long experienced by black urban communities eroded trust in state institutions, and it contested the official narrative of the police investigation and a coroner’s inquest through protests and the deployment of alternative forms of expertise. This was not an isolated case. The 1980s was a decade of disasters which led people in marginalized communities to engage in long-running disputes with the state, eroding trust in the truths presented by he state.

20世纪80年代英国的真相、正义与专业：新十字大屠杀的文化政治

这篇文章探讨了这场由著名的英国黑人活动家领导的运动，该运动成立于1981年新十字火灾之后。这场运动展示了黑人城市社区长期经历的种族主义是如何侵蚀对国家机构的信任的，它通过抗议和部署替代形式的专业知识，对警方调查和验尸官调查的官方说法提出了质疑。这不是一个孤立的案例。20世纪80年代是一个灾难的十年，导致边缘化社区的人们与国家发生长期争端，削弱了人们对国家真相的信任。
