Synopsis: | In 1948, 500 West Indians made a 30-day journey across the Atlantic in an aging merchant ship, the Empire Windrush. They were to become the symbolic founders of Britain's black communities. British society faced an entirely new challenge. This text tells the story through the eyes of the survivors of that first voyage, their descendants, friends and colleagues. At the heart of the book are first-hand accounts of these times. The book accompanies the BBC television programme "Windrush" (viewing copy available). | |
