Afro-Saxon - Homecoming Memories of a Black Boy at Eton (Paperback)

Dillibe Onyeama was the first black boy to complete his education at Eton in 1968. Written at just twenty-one, it was a deeply personal, revelatory account of the racism he endured during his time as a student at the prestigious institution. He tells in vivid detail of his own background as the son of a Nigerian judge at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, of his arrival at the school, of the curriculum, of his reception by other boys (and masters), and of his punishments. He tells, too, of the cruel racial prejudice he suffered and his reactions to it, and of the alienation and stereotyping he faced at such a young age. 'A Black Boy at Eton' was a searing, ground-breaking book displaying the deep psychological effects of colonialism and racism, and the follow-up 'Afro-Saxon' talks more about his story.
