HOMEBEATSis an interactive
CD-ROM given to the Container Project in support of its efforts to bring
accessable means to technology by migrant and marginalised groups.
HomeBeats: Struggles for Racial Justice. A multimedia cd-rom for Windows
and Macintosh computers.
The award-winning HomeBeats CD-ROM is a multimedia journey through
time, from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia, to the making of modern Britain.
Suitable for schools, youth clubs, libraries, colleges and for use at home,
this cd-rom is an invaluable resource for anti-racist education, which
is already having a radical impact with young people around Britain.
The stories of different black communities in the UK and their fight
against racism is told alongside the history of Britain's imperial expansion
abroad, and the struggles against it. Exceptionally easy to use, yet with
an unrivalled depth of information, HomeBeats has been commended in a number
of multimedia competitions for its professional production and educational
value.
"Blends history, education, struggle, information and advanced
technology to produce an exciting and invaluable cd-rom that has something
for everyone." Sir Herman Ouseley, Chairman, Commission for Racial
Equality
The CD-ROM can be viewed by anyone who assess the
Container or contact the IRR directly.
We wish to thank the Institute of
Race Relations for their generous donation of 10 copies of the title.
