Where are the works on British black urban films?

UCL professor Clive Nwonka says genre should stand with traditions such as the French new wave in terms of academic study

Clive Nwonka, an associate professor of film, culture and society at UCL, began his academic research in 2010, during a critically important era of black representation in British film and TV.
