A full understanding of Black and Asian history within the
British contextis integral to achieving a truly multicultural
Britain. In this landmark book, Ron Ramdin offers the first
complete history of both the Black and Asian experience in Britain.
Blacks and Asians have a long history in the British Isles. Ramdin
illustrates this by covering a five hundred year period, from 1500
to the present day. He recounts the major historical episodes and
covers all the major figures, including Ottobah Cugoano, William
Cuffay, Henry Sylvester Williams, George Padmore, Mary Seacole,
C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul, Sam Selvon, Walter Tull, Shirley
Bassey, Bill Morris, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureshi, Diane Abbott
and Bernie Grant. In bringing the largely hidden histories of these
two immigrant communities to the forefront, Ron Ramdin's
wide-ranging study challenges conventional histories of the British
Isles. Reimaging Britain will lead to a reappraisal of how we write
'British' history in the future.
