1. Black And British
This book is a comprehensive exploration of the Black British experience, tracing the rich and complex history of Black people in Britain from Roman times to the present day. It delves into the often overlooked contributions of Black Britons and examines the cultural, social, and political impacts of African and Caribbean communities in the UK. The narrative confronts the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and racism, while also celebrating the resilience and achievements of the Black British population. Through a blend of historical analysis, personal stories, and cultural commentary, the book provides a nuanced account of how Black history is inextricably interwoven with the broader British narrative.
