The UK is grappling with big questions about belonging, equality,
and the legacies of Empire and Colonialism. We've been here before.
Embracing a broader history that encompasses all British people,
The Shoulders We Stand On is fundamental to a better understanding
of the past and gives many more people who fought for our future a
voice in the present. Have you heard of the Indian Workers'
Association? The Grunwick Strike? The Brixton Black Women's Group?
The Battle of Brick Lane? If the answer is no, you're not alone.
The Shoulders We Stand On tells the stories of ten remarkable
movements, campaigns and organisations led by Black and Brown
people across Britain from the sixties to the eighties that fought
against racism and capitalism and impacted the way we live now.
Researcher and historian Preeti Dhillon wants us to reclaim the
history that has been kept from us, and use these vital movements
and inspirational moments to better understand the UK we live in
today and how change happens. There is a long and deep history of
activism by Black and Brown people spanning the UK. Their stories
can inspire all of us to make a difference, just as they did. The
Shoulders We Stand On is a book of hope. Hope that together we can
make a difference, that together we are powerful, and that we don't
have to tackle society's challenges alone. We're not alone, we've
been here before and this is the book we all need now. Filled with
inspiring narratives, Preeti Dhillon uncovers crucial moments from
our history. If you loved the books Natives and Brit(ish), the TV
series Small Axe or the film Pride, don't miss The Shoulders We
Stand On.
