Black people have inhabited the British Isles for centuries.
Eminent professor Paul Gilroy, renowned for his work exploring the
social and cultural dimensions of British blackness and black
Britishness, has assembled a living visual history of their social
life in the modern British Isles. Watershed moments include the
rise and commercial circulation of black culture and music, the
world wars, the Manchester Pan African Congress, the historic
settlement of the Windrush generation and the riots of the 1980s.
Luminaries drawn from politics, art and sport appear alongside many
pioneers - the first Jamaican immigrant to Brixton, London's first
`Caribbean Carnival', the first black publican and the first female
plumber. Just as important are the everyday experiences and
anonymous faces. The ordinary lives of people of African,
Caribbean, British and other cultures, captured here, vividly
document the country's difficult and unfinished process of becoming
postcolonial.
