#NOWNESSBookClub: A Grassroots Legacy 1962 - 2010, published by @bluecoatpress , traces photographer Charlie Phillips’ era-defining London street photography, collecting for the first time Phillips’ images, from the streets of Notting Hill in the 1960s to his later work chronicling Afro-Caribbean funeral culture in the city 📚 ⁠ ⁠ Describing himself as a “Windrush kid”, Phillips arrived in London from Jamaica in the late 1950s at the age of 11, spending his teenage years in Notting Hill, amidst rising racial violence and turmoil of post-war Britain ⁠ ⁠ Centering on his community whose lives would have gone undocumented, the book serves as a step forward in the narrative repatriation of Phillips’ work and legacy into the canon of British photographic history⁠ ⁠ For a chance to win a free copy of A Grassroots Legacy 1962 - 2010⁠ Follow @bluecoatpress @charlierootsfoto @nowness ⁠ Reshare this post on your story ⁠ DM @nowness expressing your interest ⁠ (UK exclusive giveaway)⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to watch ‘I Was Always Here‘, a love letter to community and a reflection on Phillips’ photographic practice on NOWNESS 📸
