Unflinching and revealing, Black and British is a vital history that reveals how black British lives have been woven into the fabric of the nation for centuries – from Roman Britain to the Black Lives Matter protests.

'Groundbreaking' – The Observer
'A radical reappraisal’ – The Guardian
'Written with great force and passion’ – The Sunday Times

Drawing on new research, original records and expert testimony, David Olusoga's Black and British shows us exactly why black history is not a separate or marginalized story, but an integral part of Britain's cultural and economic life.

Stretching back as far as Roman Britain, the medieval imagination, Elizabethan ‘blackamoors’ and the global slave-trading empire, it shows that the great industrial boom of the nineteenth century was built on American slavery, and that black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of both World Wars.

Now fully revised and updated to include the Windrush scandal and the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a history that reveals how the lives of black and white Britons have been entwined for centuries – a history that belongs to us all.

Eleştirmen yorumları

You could not ask for a more judicious, comprehensive and highly readable survey of a part of British history that has been so long overlooked or denied. David Olusoga, in keeping with the high standards of his earlier books, is a superb guide. (Adam Hochschild, bestselling author of King Leopold's Ghost)
Groundbreaking.
[A] comprehensive and important history of black Britain . . . Written with a wonderful clarity of style and with great force and passion.
A radical reappraisal of the parameters of history, exposing lacunae in the nation’s version of its past. (Arifa Akbar, The Guardian)
A thrilling tale of excavation. (Colin Grant, The Guardian)
[Olusoga] has discovered new and exciting research materials . . . Such sources give his writing freshness, originality and compassion . . . [Black and British] will inspire and will come to be seen as a major effort to address one of the greatest silences in British historiography (David Dabydeen, The New Statesman)
Lucid and accessible.
Olusoga's account challenges narrow visions of Britain's past. By tracing the triangulated connections between Britain, America and Africa, he presents black British history in global terms [...] His subjects, even those who barely figure in the historical record, appear as individuals who matter, both in their own right and as historical exemplars.
An insightful, inclusive history of black people in Britain . . . Rich in detail and packed with strong personalities, this is an important contribution to our understanding of life in the UK.
Ambitious . . . Long overdue. (Hakim Adi, The Spectator)
Olusoga has single-handedly over recent years forced our forgotten history on the agenda . . . Written with an urgency it is a thrilling and engaging read.
An erudite exploration of racism and how it continues to mutate . . . it is exhilarating to read a fine mind at work. (Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Guardian)

This is one of the most comprehensive pieces of work of its kind that I have read in my life, as a person from parents from the Caribbean, I find it shocking that citizens of this earth can be treated in such a derogatory way, however I am encouraged that, There are people out there that have managed to piece our history back together again, and celebrating this newfound knowledge, I would recommend this book to all pupils as a testament to your strength of humanity irrespective of colour creed or nationality, in a reminder that we should all realise that we are all one people even though some people reject their very origins.

So remarkably shocking

A must read. History of Britain that's not taught enough in classrooms and should be.

Some of this history I was aware of, other aspects were new to me.
On the whole I found it fascinating, at many times the white British (amongst others) were behaving very badly but they acted as was the ‘norm’ at that time. It is easy to moralise with the benefit of hindsight?
The British did abolish slavery, they didn’t start it but they certainly exploited it.
I do worry that 20/21st century slavery is still, very sadly ‘alive and well’ and probably providing many of us with goods and services - it needs to be eradicated.

Interesting and revelatory

David Olusola Book is the first true version of black British history. I did the Black USA history in the 1970's while at school which got me interested in black history . the fist book I got hold of was Avery Craven's called ( The Peculiar intuitions of Slavery) I find David's book really interesting and captivating and thought provoking. That is time for Britain to recognise our part in the slave trade as the biggest Europe country so buy and sell human life. We can't right the wrong done by our forbearers but we can say yes it is us . and makes sure that human trade trafficking still goes on now is stop.

A true version of story of black British history.

This is the kind of history that genuinely enhances your understanding of your own country today. It's a sad irony of history that this story finishes by focusing on the Empire Windrush as an emblem of Britain in the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. Then, it felt inclusive and celebratory but now, of course, with the intervening hostile environment policy and the expulsion of many of the poor, old, individuals that were on that ship, it has quite a different meaning. Not surprising though, given the hypocrisy and inhumanity so well detailed in this book. You understand so well through this book how actions are continuations and not departures from whatwent before. Great book!

Fascinating and more important than ever
