Are narratives about Brighton & Hove ambitious, fair and honest? What does it take to be taken seriously? Is the People's Republic of Brighton & Hove a genuine force for independent thinking or a smug self-congratulatory forcefield? Is Brighton & Hove a racist city? Why is community football so powerful?     Featured contributors:   Rifa Thorpe Tracey \/\/ (https:\/\/rifa.co.uk) Andy Winter \/\/ (https:\/\/andywinterbn1.wordpress.com) Adam Joolia \/\/ (https:\/\/audioactive.org.uk\/) Luke Taylor \/\/ (https:\/\/https:\/\/unitedus.co.uk) Carolynn Bain \/\/ (https:\/\/afroribooks.co.uk) Loubna Khamlichi \/\/ (https:\/\/noraay.com) Pam Loch \/\/ (https:\/\/lochassociates.co.uk) Kathy Caton (https:\/\/brightongin.com) Kevin Miller (https:\/\/whitehawkfc.com) Simon Fanshawe OBE (https:\/\/simonfanshawe.com) Barry Joinson (https:\/\/barryjoinson.com)   Useful links:   \/\/ "'I love Brighton, but it\u2019s a racist city' - Shop owner hits out at city's anti-racism campaign"   \/\/ BAME groups in Brighton   \/\/ "The People\u2019s Republic of Brighton and Hove: Britain\u2019s latest breakaway nation"   \/\/ "THAT\u2019S THE POINT WE WANT TO GET TO.
