Ответ:
This allusion doesn't explain the reasons why something happened. It just draws a parallel between two events, based on the fact that the African people were heavily oppressed by the majority and the political system itself. The Second Boer War was a war that Britain fought to consolidate its colonial supremacy, whereas the Brixton uprising was a riot led by poor, discriminated African-Caribbeans in London. Both cases included the oppressed Africans and the British oppressors.
