katypicken's review against another edition
5.0
This book is a perfect illustration of how the past shapes the present, for good and bad. How colonialism and the attitude that the white man is superior shape the racism of today. But also how centuries of history shape the many black communities in Britain today, and how many black people made Britain their home in the past, and how their children and grandchildren and however-many-greats grandchildren are British.
This book looked at the big picture -thousands of people kidnapped and sold into slavery, for example - but also focused down to individuals and their stories.
A must for anyone who wants an antidote to the white-washed history many of us were taught, and who wants to understand more of the multiracial and multicultural Britain we live in today.
