Synopsis:This publication records what life has been like for black women in Britain. The African Caribbean women who are presented here discuss their treatment by the welfare state, their housing situation, their health and self-image. They relate encounters with racism and comment on the crucial role women play at the heart of the black community. Using history and analysis as well as interviews, this book describes black women's celebration of their culture and their struggle to create a new social order in Britain.
