This was the perfect book to dip in and out of. I loved picking this up and reading five or six of these and then going about my day, feeling inspired by these amazing people who have shaped not just Britain (as the title suggests) but the world as a whole with their work and wisdom.

This was a great book to dip in and out of. It's made up of short biographies of 100 Black Britain's throughout history many of whom I had never heard of before. It's both informative and inspiring.
.
I also strongly recommend having Google on hand while you read so you can enjoy some of the music, poetry and film of the featured people. Although be aware that if you have children you will wind up listening to "Mole in a Hole" on repeat!
.
I now need recommendations for books about the British Black Panther's?

Thank you for this book. It's been a delight and an education reading this book. Very empowering and motivational during a very challenging year. I hope this is just the 2020 edition/volume and that the editors provide with updates in the years to come
