Staying Power is a panoramic history of black Britons. Stretching
back to the Roman conquest, encompassing the court of Henry VIII,
and following a host of characters from Mary Seacole to the
abolitionist Olaudah Equiano, Peter Fryer paints a picture of two
thousand years of Black presence in Britain. First published in the
'80s, amidst race riots and police brutality, Fryer's history
performed a deeply political act; revealing how Africans, Asians
and their descendants had long been erased from British history. By
rewriting black Britons into the British story, showing where they
influenced political traditions, social institutions and cultural
life, was - and is - a deeply effective counter to a racist and
nationalist agenda. This new edition includes the classic
introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain't No Black in the
Union Jack, in addition to a brand-new foreword by Guardian
journalist Gary Younge, which examines the book's continued
significance today as we face Brexit and a revival of right wing
nationalism.
