'This illuminating, vivid volume is a fitting tribute to the
experiences of migration' - Hanif Kureishi Between the arrival of
the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948 and the passing of the 1971
Immigration Act, half a million people came to the UK from the
Caribbean. In the aftermath of the 2018 Windrush Scandal, the story
of the Windrush Generation is more widely known than ever. But is
it the whole story? Through a series of biographical essays, poems
and articles, The Other Windrush shines a light on the hidden
history of a 'minority within a minority': Caribbean migrants of
Indian and Chinese descent - often the descendants of indentured
labourers - who were the 'invisible passengers' of the Windrush
generation. Both highlighting the diversity of their lives and
cultural backgrounds, and delving into the largely forgotten
history of the system of indenture in the British Caribbean, The
Other Windrush makes a unique addition to the literature on
migration and the British Empire.
