Broadcaster Trevor Phillips & his novelist brother Mike retell the very human story of Britain`s first West Indian immigrants & their descendants from the first wave of immigration in 1948 to the present day. Windrush: The Irresistible Rise of Multi-Racial Britain opens with the memories & impressions of the survivors of the voyage of the Windrush, the troop ship which brought the first West Indian immigrants to Great Britain in 1948. Fifty years on, the migrants tell an epic tale of British life in the twentieth century, through the witness of their descendants, friends, neighbours & colleagues & the testimonies of politicians who made the key decisions alongside those who were then opposed to the presence of the black settlers. Windrush moves through the crucial events of British social history in the second half of the twentieth century: the great riots of the late fifties & early sixties, the hysteria of Powellism, the remodelling of England`s inner cities & the current passionate debates about the meaning of Englishness.
