'Groundbreaking' Observer'Comprehensive and important . . . Written with a wonderful clarity of style and with great force and passion' Sunday Times
'A classic in every sense of the word . . . This book should be made compulsory reading' The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
In this vital re-examination of a shared history, award-winning historian and broadcaster David Olusoga tells the rich and revealing story of the long relationship between the British Isles and the people of Africa and the Caribbean.
Drawing on new genealogical research, original records, and expert testimony, Black and British reaches back to Roman Britain, the medieval imagination, Elizabethan 'blackamoors' and the global slave-trading empire. It shows that the great industrial boom of the nineteenth century was built on American slavery, and that black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of both World Wars. Black British history is woven into the cultural and economic histories of the nation. It is not a singular history, but one that belongs to us all.
