Wow. Just wow. David Olusoga has taken such an expansive and important topic and really done it justice in under 600 pages. Having watched ‘A House Through Time’ I knew he had a beautiful way of narrating the past, but this book is something else. Utterly heartbreaking, eye opening even for someone like me who considers themselves quite aware of Britain’s racist and downright evil history, Black and British is a must read for any Brit, regardless of beliefs. Such an important book.

Racial slurs appear in historic quotes. Descriptions of treatment of slaves and other examples of racial violence

A hugely informative book on the history of black people in Britain. Often shocking and mind blowing you get a chronological walk through the history right up to present day
