Description

Settlers Journeys Through the Food, Faith and Culture of Black African London

This book is a testament to Jimi Famurewa's love for his lineage and culture, offering an intimate and profound exploration of modern Black London.

Through a blend of memoir, history, and journalism, Famurewa uncovers the story of post-1960s arrivals from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Somalia, and their descendants' impact on British creativity and society today. With humour, style, and sensitivity, he examines racial discrimination, transracial private fostering, and the tensions between family customs and modern life.
