The Tudor period remains a source of timeless fascination, with
endless novels, TV programmes and films depicting the period in
myriad ways. And yet our image of the Tudor era remains
overwhelmingly white. This ground-breaking and provocative new book
seeks to redress the balance: revealing not only how black presence
in Tudor England was far greater than has previously been
recognised, but that Tudor conceptions of race were far more
complex than we have been led to believe. Onyeka Nubia's original
research shows that Tudors from many walks of life regularly
interacted with people of African descent, both at home and abroad,
revealing a genuine pragmatism towards race and acceptance of
difference. Nubia also rejects the influence of the 'Curse of Ham'
myth on Tudor thinking, persuasively arguing that many of the ideas
associated with modern racism are in fact relatively recent
developments. England's Other Countrymen is a bravura and eloquent
forgotten history of diversity and cultural exchange, and casts a
new light on our own attitudes towards race.
