Product Description

Review
'This book is rare in its mastery of the constant historical contradiction: range and at the same time event. Two thousand years is a long time; Fryer never loses his grip in time or place' --CLR James 'For this retrieval of the lost histories of black Britain Mr Fryer has my deep gratitude. An invaluable book, which manages the rare feat of combining scholarship with readability' --Salman Rushdie

4.0 out of 5 stars staying power, a right direction, 6 May 2005
By davidsamuelparkins (great britain) - See all my reviews
i have read this book 3 times and am now on my 4th outing with it. it holds a wealth of information for those wanting an insight into this definitive part of history, without some of the more polarised views that particular literature on the subject of slavery possess. it's good. peter fryer names his sources and all of these are easily checked and cross checked. i recommend this book to black and white, asian and indian alike, who may want an objective tool in summarising over 400 years of 'justified' murder, rape, theft and genocidal madness against a great people in their own right. well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and readable, 12 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book is fascinating and well written. It traces the history of Black people in Britain, who have made significant contributions to culture and history for several centuries. It also recounts movements against slavery and later against racism. Many things which are left out of the history books are here in this very serious and readable work.
