A leading new exploration of the Windrush generation featuring David Lammy, Lenny Henry, Corinne Bailey Rae, Sharmaine Lovegrove, Hannah Lowe, Jamz Supernova, Natasha Gordon and Rikki Beadle-Blair.

For the pioneers of the Windrush generation, Britain was 'the Mother Country'. They made the long journey across the sea, expecting to find a place where they would be be welcomed with open arms; a land in which you were free to build a new life, eight thousand miles away from home.

This remarkable book explores the reality of their experiences, and those of their children and grandchildren, through 22 unique real-life stories spanning more than 70 years.

"The story of Windrush, is, like any other, a story of humanity. Of life, love, struggle, hope, misery, success and failure. It's one that is too often neglected in our media ... but this volume acts as a remedy to that failure of story-telling, which I ask you to both savour and share."

Beautiful rich cultural stories, marking Caribbean folks journeys to the 'Mother Country'. Promises of streets paved with  gold, but all too often met with awful discrimination and racist abuse. Being of Bajan/ Trinidadian heritage, it was wonderful and emotional to hear honest, heartfelt Windrush experiences containing such warmth and showing how black communities grew in the U.K. and supported each other.

Beautiful!

This is something that I am able to gold valuable. Been a mixed race man who has struggled to dig up the past due to the lack of mainstream reporting on black Britain. This book has introduced myself to the events on how my existence occurred. fascinating stories makes the book easily listenable.
