Abstract

History
On April 20th, 1968 Enoch Powell, Member of Parliament in the English town of Wolverhampton, made a speech that shook Britain to its core. The ramifications of what some labelled a 'racist diatribe' changed forever the way in which race was viewed and discussed in the United Kingdom. 'The Speech' - a novel follows the lives of a group of characters - including Powell himself - living in Wolverhampton over a 10-day period before and after his speech.
