وصف الكتاب | Broadcaster Trevor Phillips and his novelist brother Mike retell the very human story of Britain’s first West Indian immigrants and their descendants from 1948 to the present day.In 1948, the troop ship Windrush brought the first West Indian immigrants to Great Britain. Fifty years on, Mike and Trevor Phillips used first-person accounts of those on the boat – as well as those of their descendants, friends, neighbours and politicians – to tell the story of black British life in the twentieth century in their seminal book.Now updated to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the ship’s voyage, including reflections on its legacy in 2023, Windrush is an essential, compelling document of black British history and heritage. |
