However, within this context, some black Londoners attempted to challenge the racialization of London's urban space and to forge hospitable places in which they could dwell, dine, dance, and debate. This paper provides a detailed history of the involvement of the League of Coloured Peoples (LCP), and in particular its founder Dr Harold Moody, in a Colonial Office-funded project to establish a hostel for colonial students, particularly African and African diasporic students, in London. It asserts that prior scholarship on Aggrey House has neglected the agency of the LCP in this project, and contributes to broader attempts to highlight the role of Africans and African diasporic subjects in altering the urban geography of London.

Seeking to move on from the binary split between supposed “new” and “old” imperial histories–the former often associated with postcolonial “theoretical” approaches to empire, the latter with more resolutely “empirical” approaches–the series positions itself explicitly within what its editors term “the emerging field of critical imperial studies.” In the first title of this series, Drawing the Global Colour Line, Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds significantly develop this approach with a focus on the histories of whiteness and empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Though often less overt than in the colonies, racial dynamics nevertheless left their imprint on metropolitan life. This paper suggests that one way of better understanding the consolidation of racial identities in imperial Britain is to look to the practice of commissions of enquiry. We explore how these investigative, bureaucratic modes of imperial governance enabled a refining and, in some instances, a challenging of the sense of imperial Britishness; and created opportunities for colonial activists from Africa and the Caribbean to confront the racial codes at the heart of imperial Britain. Commissions served as both a site for discussion of race and empire, and a mode of their actualization in metropolitan political and social life.
