Description
This collection of essays and stories explores the complex history of colonialism in Britain's countryside. Through personal reflections, historical accounts, and magical realism, the contributors shed light on the often-overlooked experiences of people of colour in country houses and estates.
From the story of a Black man who visits a country house with his white girlfriend to poetic meditations on artefacts found in these homes, this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of history and identity. The contributors draw connections between seemingly disparate elements, revealing the hidden narratives that have been suppressed or erased.
With its diverse range of voices and approaches, this collection challenges readers to re-examine their understanding of Britain's colonial past and its ongoing impact on our present-day society.
