This book is timely, being produced in a timespan where the first generation of Windrush era arrivals are now in their late 70s and older, a generation which are sadly decreasing. This is an engaging and accessible read, using the house as the framework to discuss Black British experience. It could have wider appeal for a general and popular audience – a book that plays into nostalgia but also has a more critical/intersectional approach Including images from popular culture archives and images commissioned especially for the volume, this book acts both as a time capsule and a communicator, passing on embodied knowledge from the past, and protecting them for the future
