informative inspiring sad slow-paced

I found an original edition of this book on my grandmother's shelf and was intrigued. Would it provide relevance to the black experience today? To an immense extent, it does. The fluid chronological approach to recounting stories and experiences is incredibly effective in showing Britain's racist colonial heritage and how pervasive it is throughout 80s England, and no doubt today. Around the halfway mark it becomes a little tiresome to read but a little perseverance lead to a really good final section.
