Description
Black Victorians Hidden in History by John Woolf and Keshia Nicole Abraham explores an alternative vision of Victorian Britain, one that reveals the achievements of people of colour who were often overlooked in traditional histories. This deeply researched book sheds light on the lives of remarkable individuals such as George Rice, William Cuffay, Henry 'Box' Brown, Sarah Parker Remond, Fanny Eaton and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. By examining the archives and challenging prevailing views on race, Woolf and Abraham demonstrate how Black people were visible and influential in British life. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in history, one that highlights the complexities and contradictions of Victorian attitudes towards diversity. Through its engaging storytelling and liberatory impulse, 'Black Victorians' provides a nuanced understanding of the experiences of marginalised Black communities during this time.
