Throughout much of its history, Bristol has been one of England`s most important ports; on the very edge of England it looks out towards Wales, Irel&, to the Atlantic & beyond. Those who have made Bristol their home range from medieval Jews to modern asylum seekers. Well before the post-war arrival of people of Caribbean & South Asian origin, the city played host to Welsh, Irish & Scottish incomers as well as to Germans, Italians, Africans, Indians & others. Beginning at the start of the 11th century, & ending in the 21st, ” Bristol: Ethnic Minorities & the City, 1000-2001” offers new insights into the experiences of foreigners who came to Bristol. This pioneering study seeks to bear witness to their many stories & begins to piece together how these migrants have affected the city`s own sense of itself. Full of archival & visual material, & interviews with Bristolians themselves, the book marks a new departure in local history. It is the first time that immigration & ethnic minorities have been explored in such depth over the entire recorded history of a single city. This story may span 1001 years rather than a thousand & one nights but like Scheherazade, the authors intrigue their audience into wanting to know more. ` This is a richly textured book, full of compelling human stories, many of which have not been published before. It should prove a valuable resource for all those interested in not only how Bristol, but the nation as a whole, came to be what it is today`
- Trevor Philips.

- & not so well-know
- buildings, & is also a guide to some of the many statues, columns, plaques & other memorials that can be found across the city. Once described as `the most beautiful, interesting & distinguished city in England`, Bristol has had a dramatic history since it was granted county status in 1373. It has seen prison riots & shipwrecks, royal visits & hangings: discover the building once called `the Devil`s Cathedral`, the inn where Robinson Crusoe met Daniel Defoe, or the church where you can find the rib bone of a whale brought back from John Cabot`s voyage to Newfoundland in 1497. ” Bristol: History You Can See” shows that evidence of the past can be seen in everyday surroundings & will fascinate all who know the area.
