The triumphs and tortures of Black England, the Ambivalent relations between the races, sometimes tragic, sometimes heart-warming, are brought to life in this wonderfully readable history. Whether prosperous citizens or newly freed slaves, they all ran the risk of kidnap and sale to plantations. Many were famous and respected: most notably Francis Barber, Doctor Johnson's beloved manservant; Ignatius Sancho, a correspondent of Laurence Sterne; Francis Williams, a Cambridge scholar, and Olaudah Equiano whose Interesting Narrative went into multiple editions. Black England explores a fascinating chapter of our shared past, a chapter that has been ignored too long. Black England tells their dramatic, often moving stories. The idea that Britain became a mixed-race country after 1945 is a common mistake. Specifications: Brilliant Black British History written by Atinuke and illustrated by Kingsley Nechi.
