Summary:
Drawing on new genetic and genealogical research, original records, expert testimony, and contemporary interviews, this
history
reaches back to Roman
Britain
, the medieval imagination, and Shakespeare's Othello. It reveals that behind the South Sea Bubble was
Britain
's global slave-trading empire and that much of the
great
industrial boom of the 19th century was built on American slavery. It shows that Black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the WWI trenches. Black British
history
can be read in stately homes, street names, statues, and memorials across
Britain
and is woven into the cultural and economic histories of the nation. Unflinching, confronting taboos, and revealing hitherto unknown scandals, this book describes how black and white Britons have been intimately entwined for centuries. David Olusoga is a British-Nigerian historian and broadcaster.
