Marika Sherwood is a Hungarian-born historian, researcher, educator and author, based in England since 1965. ==Biography== Sherwood was born in Hungary. With the remains of her Jewish family she emigrated to Australia in 1948. A short stint of employment in New Guinea introduced her to racism and colonialism. She returned to Sydney, attended university as a part-time student and then emigrated to the "Mother Country" with her son in 1965. Teaching in London schools introduced her to the many aspects of racism prevalent in the UK. She determined that if it ever became possible, she would do some research on the history of "Black" peoples in the UK as she wanted to replace fighting with fists to fighting with knowledge. Five years of work in Harlem, New York (1980-85), convinced her that this was necessary. Sherwood has a desk, but is not on the staff of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London.〔("Black and Asian Britain" - Seminar Series at ICwS ), Institute of Commonwealth Studies.〕 In 1991 with Hakim Adi and other colleagues she founded what is now known as the Black and Asian Studies Association,〔("Marika Sherwood", Macmillan. )〕 in order to encourage research and disseminate information, and to campaign on education issues. This is ongoing. In 2010 she was honoured by an invitation to contribute to the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Colloquium in Accra, convened by the African Union and the Government of Ghana. Apart from her major publications listed below, she has also contributed to a number of films, radio programs, conferences. Marika Sherwood is the owner of Savannah Press,〔(Savannah Press. )〕 a publisher for some of her books "at cost" prices. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marika Sherwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
