Reading "Report from an English Village" and interviewing the author Ronald Blythe while Studs was in London.

Ninety five miles outside of London, Ronald Blythe has interviewed residents of the village of Akenfield for his next book, "Akenfield: A Portrait of an English Village." Blythe said what surprised him most of all was that newspapers and TV didn't have much effect on this little village. Blythe also learned that the village people would take part in political conversations with one another but they'd never let on as to which political party they were apart of.

There is a great deal of history to be found in Edward Scobie's book, "Black Britannia: A History of Blacks in Britain". Scobie's book also includes the anti-Black attitude of the English people. In some cases, according to Scobie, people wanted to work longer hours instead of having a Black man on their shift.
