Product Description


Details:
People of African & Caribbean descent have inhabited Great Britain for centuries. Eminent professor Paul Gilroy, renowned for his work exploring the social & cultural

Dimensions of British blackness & black Britishness, has assembled a living visual history of their social life in the modern British Isles.

Watershed moments include the rise & commercial circulation of black culture & music, the world wars, the Manchester Pan African Congress, the historic settlement of the Windrush generation & the riots of the 1980s. Luminaries drawn from politics, art & sport appear alongside many pioneers
- the first Jamaican immigrant to Brixton, Londons first Caribbean Carnival, the first black publican & the first female plumber.

Just as important are the everyday experiences & anonymous faces. The ordinary lives of people captured here vividly document the countrys difficult & unfinished process of becoming postcolonial.

Published in association with Getty Images, this volume features 321 black & white photographs, commentary by Paul Gilroy & a preface from Professor Stuart Hall.

Ideal for:
A must have book for history enthusiasts.

This paperback book has 320 pages & measures: 27 x 27 x 22cm.
