This review is from: Black Londoners: 1880-1990 (Paperback)

You ever get the feeling when you're listening on a lecture in European history that something is missing?

Black Londoners fills in the gap of British history that is rarely, if ever mentioned in textbooks. This book is a pictorial documentary of the black experience in London from the Edwardian period to twentieth century, centering the lives of the black diaspora ranging from arts and entertainment to politics.

The presence of African culture has been prevalent in Britain since ancient times and as Britain's society is more multiracial, historians and the general public are finding new information on the Black experience in Britain for generations to come.
