Description
The MV Empire Windrush's arrival in London on 21st June 1948 marked the beginning of a new era for Britain. On board were 1027 passengers, including 539 from Jamaica, who would go on to shape the country's history. A Circle of Five brings to life the stories of five Jamaican women - Evelyn, Emma, Irene, Ivy, and Melissa - whose experiences during this period are now being shared. These women's lives span over eighty years, beginning in rural Jamaica in the early 1930s. Their individual voices offer a unique perspective on the Windrush Generation, a pivotal moment in British history. Through their stories, the experiences of those who made the journey between 1948 and 1971 come alive. This book honours the Windrush Generation by showcasing the lives of these five women, whose journeys are now being shared with a wider audience.
