MEDIA REVIEWS

"This is an impressive piece of writing; part-memoir, part-cultural history and part-political essay. It is an important story told from a personal perspective depicting the achievements and struggles of Black communities uprooted from their African roots and charting their new lives in America, the Caribbean and the UK. It's a fascinating read that will appeal to a wide audience across Britain and around the globe." - Dr Paul Stephenson OBE, Civil Rights Campaigner and Author of 'Memoirs of a Black Englishman'
