en w:Paul Gilroy http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/apr/15/britishidentity.fiction Absolute MacInnes Ed Vulliamy 2007-04-14 The Guardian ‘But,’ says Gilroy, ‘negrophilia and negrophobia can be intertwined. [Colin] MacInnes seems to have imprisoned black people in his exotic conceptions of their blackness. He encounters them as objects through the lenses of his sexual desire. It's hard to see how that colonial conception can speak to an age where blackness has become an ordinary, emphatically post-exotic thing in a city like this one.’ https://web.archive.org/web/20261017231521/https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/apr/15/britishidentity.fiction 17 October 2026
