ABSTRACT The summer of 1976 is an under-cited moment of significance in the history of race and immigration in post-war England. A series of major incidents appeared to highlight lasting racial fractures in English society, often exacerbated by the provocative editorial decisions of the press. This article, focused particularly on events in the Lancashire town of Blackburn, analyses some of the ways in which constructions of a ‘crisis of race relations’ were developed in local and national newspapers during this tumultuous summer.

“出版并被诅咒？” 1976 年漫长炎热的夏天期间英格兰的种族、危机和新闻

摘要 1976 年夏天是战后英格兰种族和移民历史上一个被低估的重要时刻。一系列重大事件似乎凸显了英国社会中持久的种族分裂，而媒体的挑衅性编辑决定往往加剧了这种分裂。这篇文章特别关注兰开夏郡布莱克本镇的事件，分析了在这个动荡的夏天，地方和国家报纸上“种族关系危机”的构建的一些方式。
