This beautiful hardback gift book is a stunning visual journey
through Black British history for younger readers by award-winning
historian and broadcaster David Olusoga and illustrated by Jake
Alexander and Melleny Taylor. The essential starting place for
anyone who wants to learn about Black British History. David
Olusoga's thought provoking text charts the forgotten histories of
Black people in Britain from Roman times right through to the
present day. From Roman Africans guarding Hadrian's Wall, to an
African trumpeter in the court of Henry the Eighth, Black Georgians
fighting for the abolition of slavery, Black soldiers fighting for
Britain in the First World War, Windrush and right up today. These
are the stories that brought us all together in this country. 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. This children's edition of the bestseller
Black and British: A Forgotten History is beautifully illustrated
in full-colour with maps, portrait galleries, timelines, photos and
portraits.
