Résumé anglais There is today a Black community both in the United States and in the UK. Although the historical formation of the two communities is very different — the word black » in English does not refer to the same population in the two countries — the Black American experience has served as an example to the Black, or New Commonwealth, community in the UK, the West Indian presence in the two countries playing an important role. The campaigns against racial discrimination in the UK were influenced by the movements for civil rights in the USA ; the political movements of the Black Americans influenced Black political movements in the UK. American legislation against racial and sexual discrimination was the model for similar legislation in the UK. However, in the United States, the notion of belonging to an ethnic group predominates whereas in the UK the movement of resistance to racial discrimination has created a broad alliance of all the so-called « black » ethnic groups, the experience of a common social situation being the predominant factor.
