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
