Black and British: A short, essential history by David Olusoga

October 28, 2020 By achuka Leave a Comment


ACHUKA Book of the day 28 Oct 2020

A short, essential introduction to Black British history by award-winning historian and broadcaster David Olusoga. Based on the author’s ‘groundbreaking’ adult title Black and British: A Forgotten History.

Revised and rewritten for younger readers, Olusoga’s insightful and invaluable history of the Black experience in the British Isles ranges from forgotten Africans in the Roman legions to the multicultural society of the present day.

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?

These and many other questions are answered in this essential introduction to 1800 years of the Black British history: from the Roman Africans who guarded Hadrian’s Wall right up to the present day.
This children’s version of the bestseller Black and British: A Forgotten History is illustrated with maps, photos and portraits.
Macmillan Children’s Books will donate 50p from every copy sold to The Black Curriculum.
