Description
Black and British: A Forgotten History by David Olusoga This book offers a vital and unflinching history of black British lives, spanning centuries from Roman Britain to the present day. Drawing on new research, original records and expert testimony, David Olusoga reveals the intricate and often overlooked connections between black and white Britons. The history of black Britain is one of entwined lives, with black people playing a significant role in shaping the nation's cultural and economic life. From the medieval imagination to the global slave-trading empire, and from the great industrial boom of the nineteenth century to the Windrush scandal and the Black Lives Matter movement, this history is one that belongs to us all. Fully revised and updated, Black and British provides a radical reappraisal of Britain's past, one that challenges our understanding of the nation's history and its ongoing impact on contemporary society.
