A shared history across Britain, Africa and the Caribbean
David Olusoga’s book revisits the long relationship between the British Isles and people of Africa and the Caribbean. This updated edition includes new material and frames that history as a shared one, bringing its focus to connections that can be overlooked in broader accounts of Britain’s past. Its subject sits at the intersection of history and the study of prejudice and racism, making the book relevant to questions about how national histories are told and whose experiences they include.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Teens and young adults interested in British history and its connections to Africa and the Caribbean.
- Readers seeking nonfiction on prejudice, racism and the representation of history.
