The History of the African and Caribbean Communities in Britain

Let’s face it: without its black population, Britain would be kind of a boring place. No reggae music or Afrobeat. No carnival. No jerk chicken, or yams and cassavas on your local market. Not even any bright African fabrics. Yawn. But below the surface, there are much bigger changes than these obvious ones. And do you know when the first black immigrants got to Britain, anyway? (It’s probably a lot earlier than you imagine.) So: how did Britain’s black population get here? What cool things have they brought us? What problems have they faced? Find out in this book of amazing photos and facts.
