Expanding upon the 2017 Radio 4 series 'Britain's Black Past', this
book presents those stories and analyses through the lens of a
recovered past. Even those who may be familiar with some of the
materials will find much that they had not previously known, and
will be introduced to people, places, and stories brought to light
by new research. In a time of international racial unrest and
migration, it is important not to lose sight of similar situations
that took place in an earlier time. In chapters written by
scholars, artists, and independent researchers, readers will learn
of an early musician, the sales of slaves in Scotland, the
grave-now a shrine-of a black enslaved boy left to die in Morecombe
Bay, of a country estate owned by a mixed-race slave owner, and of
the two strikingly different people who lived in a Bristol house
that is now a museum. Black sailors, political activists,
memoirists, appear in these pages, but the book also re-examines
living history, in the form of modern plays, television programmes,
and genealogical sleuthing. Through them, Britain's Black Past is
not only presented anew, but shown to be very much alive in our own
time.
