A short, essential introduction to Black British history for readers aged 12 and above by award-winning historian and broadcaster David Olusoga. This book explores 1800 years of Black British history, from the Roman Africans who guarded Hadrian's Wall to the present day. It addresses questions such as when Africans first came to Britain, the identity of well-dressed black children in Georgian paintings, and the impact of the American Civil War on the Industrial Revolution. Illustrated with maps, photos, and portraits, this children's version of the bestseller Black and British: A Forgotten History is both informative and engaging.
