Since the mid-1990s, the black experience in Britain has begun to
be (re)negotiated intensely, with a strong focus on history.
Narrative Projections of a Black British History considers
narratives that construct, or engage with, aspects of a black
British history. Part I poses the question of what sort of
narratives have emerged from, and in turn determine, key events
(such as the iconic 'Windrush' moment) and developments and
provides basic insights into theoretical frameworks serving a
deeper understanding of these narratives. Part II offers a large
number of comparative readings. It considers 'factual' and
'fictional' forms of representation such as history books,
documentary films, life writing, novels and drama and identifies
main strands, 'official' narratives and countercurrents. Part III
embarks on close readings and analyses of a selection of narratives
that can be classed as reactions to the 'established' historical
culture. Overall, the book draws attention to collective currents
and individual positions, affirmative and critical approaches:
Together, they form a representative image of a specific moment in
the ongoing debate about a black British history.
