Stuart Hall: articulations of race, class and
identity
John Solomos
The passing of Stuart Hall on 10 February 2014 came at a time when his
contribution to scholarly and wider social, cultural and political life was
being recognized in a number of ways. His death was marked by many
obituaries, statements and expressions of loss, both by his close friends
and by students and admirers of his work. He was seen as a key figure in
the development of cultural studies as a field of academic scholarship and
research – a discipline that has grown in many ways out of the Centre for
Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Birmingham
that Hall directed for a period. More generally, he gained recognition
outside of academic circles for his work in helping to raise the profile of
black diasporic cultural institutions in Britain and beyond. Indeed, it is this
unique ability to cross the boundaries between academia and the wider
public spheres of politics, art and the cultural industries that helps situate
Hall as a public intellectual in the broadest sense of that term (Hall,
Morley, and Chen 1996; Hall and Back 2009; Davis 2004).
Since cultural diversity is, increasingly, the fate of the modern world, and
ethnic absolutism a regressive feature of late-modernity, the greatest danger
now arises from forms of national and cultural identity – new or old – which
attempt to secure their identity by adopting closed versions of culture or
community and by the refusal to engage… with the difficult problems that
Ethnic and Racial Studies 1673
arise from trying to live with difference. The capacity to live with difference
is, in my view, the coming question of the twenty-first century. (Hall
1993, 361)
