An oral history of Britain’s first West Indian immigrants and
their descendants from 1948 to the present day. In 1948 the former
troop ship Windrush made the 30-day journey across the Atlantic
from Jamaica. The arrival of its 500 passengers, the first
generation of Caribbean migrants in the UK, was the initial step in
the formation of a new identity: the black Briton. Fifty years
later, Mike and Trevor Phillips spoke to those on the Windrush
itself, as well as those who followed, to tell the story of Britain
in the second half of the twentieth century through the eyes of the
outsiders who became insiders. Now updated to coincide with the
75th anniversary of the ship’s voyage and including reflections
on its political and cultural legacy in 2023, Windrush is an
essential record of this transformative era in British social
history.
