CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
In the late 1990s Professor Harry Goulbourne, Eric and Jessica Huntley, Professor Preston King and Toks Williams attempted to set up a publishing and bookshop Co-operative in London which would 'cater to the public needs of the minority ethnic communities' on both sides of the Atlantic (LMA/4462/S/001).
The Co-operative was intended to promote African, Caribbean, Native American and African-American concerns and have an international remit. However due to funding difficulties the Co-operative project did not progress beyond the developmental stage.
