BLACK AND BRITISH: A SHORT AND ESSENTIAL HISTORY (PB)

A new children's version of the bestseller Black and British by award-winning historian and broadcaster David Olusoga. Illustrated with maps, photos and portraits, it provides a short, essential introduction to Black British history from the Roman Africans who guarded Hadrian's Wall right up to the present day. When did Africans first come to Britain? Who are the well-dressed black children in Georgian paintings? Why did the American Civil War disrupt the Industrial Revolution? These and many other questions are answered. Macmillan Children's Books will donate 50p from every copy sold to The Black Curriculum.
