The Oxford Companion to Black British History is an essential
reference for anyone who wants to understand the long and
fascinating history of black people in Britain from classical times
to the present day. It brings together a unique collection of
articles that provide an overview of the black presence in Britain,
and the rich and diverse contribution made to British society. The
A-Z guide includes entries for landmark figures, key events,
concepts (such as Emancipation and Reparations), and historical
accounts. Subject areas include medicine, military history, art,
music, sports, and education. Entries range from the African
auxiliaries stationed on Hadrian's Wall in the second century A.D.,
through John Edmonstone, who taught taxidermy to Charles Darwin,
Mary Seacole, the "Black Florence Nightingale," and Walter Tull, a
professional soccer player and First World War officer. The guide
will be of tremendous interest to those involved in commenting on
subjects relating to the Black British community, or anyone
interested in finding out about the history of expatriated Africans
outside the Americas.
