| Synopsis: | This collection charts the years of black British presence from 1948 (arrival of the SS Empire Windrush) to 1998. Contributors range from African Caribbean writers who were part of the first wave of migrants in the 1950s (such as C.L.R. James, Beryl Gilroy, George Lamming and Sam Selvon) to representatives of later generations (such as Caryl Phillips, Ben Okri, Bernardine Evaristo and Victor Headley) and white writers such as Roy Kerridge and Colin MacInnes. The individual contributions cover themes such as identity, racism, education, sexual identity, entertainment and leisure. | |
