Black and British: A short, essential history

Written by award winning historian and broadcaster David Olusoga, this excellent book is designed for readers aged 12+ and covers 1800 years of Black British history, from the Roman Africans who guarded Hadrian’s Wall right up to the present day. The text also contains thought provoking questions that challenge traditional perceptions around the black British diaspora: When did Africans first come to Britain? Who are the well-dressed black children in Georgian paintings? Why did the American Civil War disrupt the Industrial Revolution? This version of  David Olusoga’s bestseller Black and British: A Forgotten History is illustrated with maps, photographs, and portraits.
