Book SynopsisMeet the people, visit the places and hear the stories that do justice to Black British history.This is the first school textbook of this century that focuses solely on the history of Black people in Britain - and approaches that history with the rigour, relevance and extensive research that it deserves.> Diversify your KS3 curriculum. Designed to be used flexibly, the book contains enquiries that can be slotted easily into your schemes of work. Structured into three key periods, with a mix of depth, site and thematic enquiries, it provides numerous opportunities for you to incorporate Black British history at KS3.> Focus on real people. Depth enquiries examine individual Black lives within different periods from 1500 to present, using historical concepts such as causation and significance to explore their stories. Unique sources bring the individuals to life and also highlight the complexity of relations between Black and White people inTrade ReviewThis book is terrific. Whitburn and Mohamud are widely known in the field as the pre-eminent educationalists working on teaching Black British history in UK secondary schools, and this work represents the culmination of their decades of combined experience and expertise. I was struck by the breadth of the coverage, the clean, accessible style of the prose, and the sensitivity with which some very challenging material has been handled. This textbook will no doubt be a useful resource for a new generation of students and teachers who are increasingly interested in the central role played by Black people to Britain's national and globally-connected history. In short, this is an empowering and, in my view, powerfully anti-racist resource, which will be taken seriously by educators and will benefit students of all backgrounds. -- Dr Ryan Hanley, University of Exeter
