About this deal
Description
Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet those first Britons, as well as the Black Romans, Tudors, Georgians and Victorians who existed in every walk of life in Britain. The triumphs and tortures of Black England, the Ambivalent relations between the races, sometimes tragic, sometimes heart-warming, are brought to life in this wonderfully readable history. Many were famous and respected: most notably Francis Barber, Doctor Johnson's beloved manservant; Ignatius Sancho, a correspondent of Laurence Sterne; Francis Williams, a Cambridge scholar, and Olaudah Equiano whose Interesting Narrative went into multiple editions. This is their history - brilliant Black British history. Specifications: Black England explores a fascinating chapter of our shared past, a chapter that has been ignored too long. The idea that Britain became a mixed-race country after 1945 is a common mistake.
