For over 1500 years before the Empire Windrush docked on British shores, people of African descent have played a significant and far-ranging role in the country's history, from the African soldiers on Hadrian's Wall to the Black British intellectuals who made London a hub of radical, Pan-African ideas. But while there has been a growing interest in this history, there has been little recognition of the sheer breadth and diversity of the Black British experience, until now.

This collection combines the latest work from both established and emerging scholars of Black British history. It spans the centuries from the first Black Britons to the latest African migrants, covering everything from Africans in Tudor England to the movement for reparations, and the never ending struggles against racism in between.

An invaluable resource for both future scholarship and those looking for a useful introduction to Black British history, Black British History: New Perspectives has the potential to transform our understanding of Britain, and of its place in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected but very good anyway

I didn't read properly, I thought this would be a book by Hakim Adi, someone I have seen speak a couple of times and who I hold in high regard. In fact Hakim just contributes a (very good) introduction which is followed by a series of essays by different authors about various aspects of black British history. My initial disappointment soon faded away when I started reading the essays. I feared they might be too 'academic' but I found them very accessible. The essays are about little known topics the authors have researched and so, inevitably, I learnt a lot that was new to me. I found the essay about 'race riots' in Birmingham a decade before the better known 'riots' in Nottingham and Notting Hill of particular interest but that doesn't detract from the quality of the other contributions..
