50815 abstract Stuart Hall, leading public intellectual and campaigner in the British New Left, was a progenitor of the field of cultural studies, influential critic of the Thatcher governments, and a central voice in discussions of postcolonial identity. As Director of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and Professor of Sociology at The Open University, Hall shifted a generation of sociologists towards the politics of representation and its role in the conceptualisation of identity formed through difference. <br></br><br></br>Hall’s engagement with Althusser and Gramsci led to a critique of ‘Thatcherism’ the popular authoritarianism of which was anticipated in his investigation of the deviant figure of the black mugger in <i>Policing the Crisis</i> (1978). Stuart Hall pioneered an inquiry into the symbolic, ideological and political work ‘race’ is made to do at particular historical conjunctures along with a definition of multiculturalism foregrounding the dependency of ‘Englishness’ on its colonial history.
