That makes for a long, detailed book which I've been reading gradually over the last few months because there's so much to take in. The history itself is both horrific and fascinating, but it's also important to note the subtitle. This is history which has often been deliberately erased, evident in the way Britain has downplayed its role in the slave trade and colonialism and focused on its role in abolition.
After reading Stamped From The Beginning earlier in the year and now this I feel like I've got a much better grasp on Black history in both the UK and the USA and understand how events in the two countries are connected.
