Reviews

An urgent conversation about Britishness and the breadth of Black British experience [that] will take us on affecting and insightful journeys A revelation of a black history almost lost, a chronicling of a rich black British life outside of London told with such love and tender, evocative prose that it immediately colourises the present. In tracing this history, Bakare offers not just a homage to Black British identity, but a reinforcement of it This is an important and ambitious book, and Bakare has found the right stories and language to do it justice Expand reviews
